It doesn't need the change above, does it? It (aiui) deliberately sits ahead of the patch (supposedly) doing the above. While (once again) it is not being said anywhere that it's independent of patches 01 and 02, I expect it really is. In which case all that looks to prevent it from having gone in already is the lack of an ack for the XSM changes. > - number of tags indicates that it's the way to move forward > - with above diff patch 4 can be dropped Except that imo really wants to be separate. And that could have gone in already as well, if only it had been done correctly.
