I try to keep patches in the expected merge-up order. The patching order is in the series file - see the `patch-series' symlink in the kerne.org directory.

Planned for shortly after 2.6.6 are:
sched-domains rmap 7-14 (15-23 probably a week later) numa api

I dropped bssprot - it was causing too much grief.

I confess to being vaguely stunned that it is possible to generate a ~20 patch series againt the bitmap code. I'll pay more attention next time it flies past. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
