If it's 2.6.29, the patches look too much. If it's for 2.6.30, IMO, at least Peter's clean-up patches should go into 2.6.29, as this change was introduced firstly in the 2.6.29 merge.
Oh, OK. You've previously been much more reluctant to merge cleanups so I didn't think you'd want to merge those - if you're happy to merge his patches I'll regenerate the branches and push out again this morning.
Well, in this case, it's more logical to merge them into 2.6.29 because that API change was introduced first on 2.6.29, and then we are now trying to kill it again. By merging the clean-up patches, such an intermediate API change will be gone gracefully.
thanks,
