So this is actually late-breaking 2.6.27 material? In that case: ouch,
but OK.
But the core problem remains: linux-next is the 2.6.27 integration tree
and remains the 2.6.27 integration tree *for some people* until
2.6.28-rc1 is released.
If people start putting lots of 2.6.x+1 material into linux-next prior
to the 2.6.x-rc1 release then we'll need to point this out and ask
people to tweak their practices a bit.
This happened yesterday with git-security-testing and James just moved
piles of new stuff into a "devel" tree which he'll transfer to
linux-next after -rc1, no probs.
