Nice.  The usual approach is to resend to the relevant people as a
reminder, like you have done now.  For reference, here's the last

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1184383

If I understand correctly, Cyrill Gorcunov liked the patches.

Bjorn, would you like to resend, or should I?

Thanks, both.
