I dunno. The patches are all pretty simple +(there's also a few dentry cleanup patches that were the result of me +looking at profiles and generated code), and it really is a rather +important performance thing, but at the same time I would shout at +others for trying to merge it to me this late. So I'll consider myself +properly chastised. + +Other than that? + +We should have all the fallout from the block layer +plugging changes fixed now, and Tejun fixed the infinite CD-ROM +disk-change notification thing.
