Hi Vasily,

I've been slammed with working on DM thinp and DM cache.  High priority
issues got elevated and we're only now putting those issues to rest.

So that said, I'll have time to focus on dm-dedup review starting next
week.  BUT this time it is different in that I'll be working closely
with Vivek Goyal (cc'd).  Vivek just joined Red hat's kernel storage
team and will be able to help with this review.  I'm asking Vivek to
focus on the meat of the dedup strategy you've deployed (algorithms,
etc).

I'll be maintain focus on the DM target mechanics (which should be in
good shape coming off the first cycle of review).

Apologies for DM dedup's review/inclusion slipping to the degree it
has.  I could've been much better about communicating my status.

Hopefully we can have DM dedup buttoned up and staged for upstream
inclusion in time for Christmas ;)

Mike
