    Forgive my ignorance (if this applies) but I recently submitted a patch
    acked by both you and gregkh. If there are difficulties with it I'd be
    much obliged to hear of them and will resolve them with the utmost
    urgency. Aside from that my only concern is that it did not appear in
    your changelog. If it's been deferred to a later push that is also okay
    with me.
    
    Linus, please do not take this concern as any opposition to the
    inclusion of this patch and review it entirely independently of this.
    I'm only exercising due diligence with respect to an API update I sent
    which should have zero impact on correct functionality, and the omission
    of my patch has no implications wrt. the properness of the changes sent
    in this submission.
    
    Thanks,
    Bill
