Boris,

Haven't you automated your inbox yet? I have patchwork reading my INBOX
and it's smart enough to understand new series, and the old one simply
disappears as "superseded".

Email is just the wires to our infrastructure. Get with the times man! ;-)

Hi Boris,

I gave Vaibhav some long shot hope that his series could be included
in my libnvdimm pull request for -rc1. Save for a last minute clang
report that I misread as a gcc warning, I likely would have included.
This spin is looking to address the last of the comments I had and
something I would consider for -rc2. So, in this case the resends were
requested by me and I'll take the grumbles on Vaibhav's behalf.

Can you please resend your patchset once a week like everyone else and
not flood inboxes with it?
