I get a significant-looking reject from this. Can you please redo and resend? I put my current rollup (against -rc5) at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/dr.gz and the broken-out tree is, as always at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ It would be better for you to get set up for using mmotm - it is my usual way of publishing the -mm queue between releases.
