Yeah sorry. They're queued up in a special branch atm, but will be part of my initial 2.6.37 merge request pull. They're not going into 2.6.36 because they're a bit too invasive for this late in the process.
I don't *think* they'll cause problems (ultimately they should make us behave a bit more like Windows as far as resource allocation goes) so hopefully a merge into stable sometime after the 2.6.37 merge window closes won't be a problem, but you probably don't have a nice way of automating that...
