I'm only collecting patches for scsi, but James remains formal maintainer, so
I don't send anything to Linus. Given that delays between me committing
things, them getting picked up by James and finally making it to Linux-next I
don't feel like another for-3.16 branch at this point is easily workable.
It's been remarkably current, I believe ... it's already up to date.
However, we only have 2 -next builds between now and the anticipated
3.16 release (unless Linus does another -rc) so there's not enough time
for a patch that isn't already in (although this one is).
If James wants to cherry pick it and send it on at this time that
might
still work fine, but he seems fairly busy.
I'll pull it out and refactor the tree.
