I see. Well, the patches were reviewed and accepted by Andrew Morton
more than half a year ago. The fact is that the whole MB5 and MT
development got held back half a year simply because there was noone
actually merging the code into linus tree. The MB5 patches are being
merged now, but the MT patches are in for a second review. This whole
business put me off a little, so my plan is simply to hold until all
merging and negotiation is done. Sometimes things just take time, sorry.

Yes! You work would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
