Ouch.

#151804 and #156841 have just be closed because it's fixed.
#152099 is downgraded to normal. Thanks Philip.
#153263 is kept on woody... Yeah, I missed :-)

Jack Howarth <howarth@bromo.med.uc.edu> and Franz Sirl
<Franz.Sirl-kernel@lauterbach.com> is discussing at the upstream.  If
thier patches are included on upstream, then we can only pull from the
upstream cvs. But, #155606 can be downgraded to important, as you
said. Thanks Philip to work re-tagging it.
