It's in my backlog queue. Waaaay back.
The -rc1 merging and kermel summit put me way behind (again) and when I'm way behind, I start to work in reverse order (mainly to avoid looking at older versions of patches). And when I'm working in time-reverse order, things which were sent a long time ago get delayed even more.
The good news is that the longer I take to merge something, the less likely it is that I'll actually merge it ;) Either it got shot down or a new version came out or someone else merged it.
