Greg,

When I send patches, you are always on the "to" list and I was just responding to Vitaly's email
(assuming that you were on the "to" list - my bad). Sorry about that.

The issue is not one of packaging. Vitaly has two patches in this series each of which
needs to go through a different tree. I wanted to know if you can take both patches
through your tree. In any case, I will repackage and send them to you.

Thank you,
