Yes, it was mentioned so in the cover letter.

My patches are already ready.  I didn't post the full set just because
it's too much.  The patch "snippet" was shown as a demonstration.

And, why do you think there is only one patchset?  Usually I write
several different implementations and choose the best one for
submission.  That is, I already have a few other patchsets in my local
tree based on the current code base.  And even further works on PCM
code are pending.

So which is easier to rebase and handle?  Which one has more
significant changes?  A single trivial cleanup patch, or the whole
several sets of patchsets?  The answer is clear to my eyes.


thanks,
