This is all my fault, I'm the one who asked Nicolas to get these patches merged in 3.17, and, as I said, I should have told you that he was in vacation and thus could not use your topic branch for this release cycle. Anyway, I understand your concern about merging stuff that have not been tested on linux-next. Arnd, Olof, Kevin, I'd totally understand if you refuses to takes these patches for this release cycle.
