With 76 patches in the series, I doubt that anybody is going to look through all of them again though. Are the patches already part of Linux-next? If not, I would recommend getting them in there as a preparation for merging in 3.9. I would also recommend to only send incremental patches after that, as well as new versions of some of the patches if you decide to replace them based on comments you get. Arnd
