Hi Stephen,

Now that -rc1 has been released (well.. -rc2, or..hmm...), could you please
reintegrate the tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/random-tracing.git
reiserfs/kill-bkl

into -next ?

It is based on linux-2.6.31, I haven't merged 32-rc3 into
it because there is no conflict between those and there are no
dependencies against latest changes.

Tell me if you need something. It's possible there are pending
patches in reiserfs for .33 in -next which might conflict, I don't
know. But if you need help to fix the conflicts, just tell me.

Thanks!
