Looks like -mm, which really means that either Andrew has to take your patch, too, or we have to wait until that is upstream until we can merge your patch.
I'm a little nervous about just acking the patch and telling Andrew to test it, because I don't know what the fallout would look like. I'm particularly concerned about gcc version dependencies.
I guess, on the other hand, if it ends up not getting merged until .35 it's not a huge deal either.
