You mean you want the sync cache fix right? Can I just send a patch for 
what went into 2.6.25 since there are several fixes in there you guys 
probably want and because the patch will be easier for me to make? :) 
Just doing a patch for the cache sync will be difficult because it was 
made on top of other patches.
