Are you sure that you applied to the specified -rc (or quilt branch from
git?)

As far as I know, he's been tuning and re-basing his patches per RC (per
merge window) for some time now. I believe I saw some patches from him
during the .30 merge that got some attention.

There are also (as far as I can remember) a bunch of patches queued for
DM which may conflict, i.e. fixing write barriers for targets that span
multiple devices).

In any event, it illustrates a clear path to disk QoS without bothering
the hypervisor.
