    I applied your patch to the m68k for-3.6/for-linus branch.
    I'll ask Linus to pull later in the rc cycle (right now I don't have
    anything else
    queued for 3.6).
    Still, I think it's better to just collect acks and send it to Linus
    in one shot,
    so it can go into stable in one shot too.

    Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

    Geert

    In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
    when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
