Ping!

No concerns have been raised yet with the v15 version of the patch series
in the two weeks since I posted it, and I think I have addressed all
previously-raised concerns (or perhaps people have just given up arguing
with me).

I did add Catalin's Reviewed-by to 08/13 (thanks!) and updated my
kernel.org repo.

Does this feel like something we can merge when the 4.9 merge window opens?
If so, whose tree is best suited for it?  Or should I ask Stephen to put it into
linux-next now and then ask Linus to merge it directly?  I recall Ingo thought
this was a bad idea when I suggested it back in January, but I'm not sure where
we got to in terms of a better approach.

Thanks all!
