It just went into mainline as rev 1.87 to ide-probe.c :(
Your "Integrated Technology Express" addition is missing but I'm going to add it here.

I've been including one-liners even if they only fix rare cases or aren't strictly bugfixes, but the larger ones are riskier:
- backport of the rq-lock patch almost certainly created a profiling bug if the retry path is taken.
- the timers-and-signals patch fixes three things; only one is urgent.
And Hugh's VM accounting patches look very worthwhile (they just went into mainline.) I took one and might merge the other two - but they change statm reporting.
Getting them to merge and compile is the easy part...
