Nope, looks like he's already done that too. As I said in another thread, I'm
going to try to start tracking the linux1394 git tree in rawhide, and
selectively pull back patches into released kernels. David's done a lot of
excellent work of late while I was busy not paying attention, due to the
holidays and other misc stuff (lirc, ia64 xen, ecryptfs, ext4...)
