I'll be reviewing your workqueue patches today.  I can take care of
rebasing the patches as needed ontop of Alasdair's quilt tree (up to
dm-raid1-support-discard.patch):
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/agk/patches/2.6/editing/series

Once I've folded your patches in I will share the url for resulting
quilt tree.

Thanks,
Mike
