I won't object. I checked your tree, it looks OK to me. The actual broken patch appears in -mm, and the security_sid_to_context snafu is primarily cosmetic at this point (the exports, etc fixed the real compilation issues AFAICT). But, again, if you want to drop that's fine w/ me. I'm sure Catherine can cleanup and resend as needed.
