Just to be clear: the reasons are:
1) Ioana's patch was _not_ copied to linux-arm-kernel as it should have
   been.
2) I can't download the patch off lkml.org to sanely rebase on top of it
3) I'm not hunting around to try and find it on another archive site
4) I'm not digging about in random git trees trying to find it.

This makes it unnecessarily difficult to progress these patches.
