This happened more than a week ago, as I needed to merge your tree into net-2.6 to resolve a conflict there. That's what took in the iscsi bug fix, and this is way before the merge window. Then I needed to pull net-2.6 into net-next-2.6 to resolve conflicts existing between those two trees. And this is why I ended up having to do the merge :-) >> Either way, of course, we need the patch back ... > > I'll fix it up. Thanks Linus.
