Yes. They've been in linux-next since the weekend (ie. today will be the
third linux-next build), and my plan was to push them Friday.
Nothing goes into linux-next which is not for Linus until after Linus
closes the merge window.
I also want to find a few cycles to adapt lguest; it's *always* good to
have a second implementation.
Cheers,
Rusty.
