we should not confuse things again. I think Greg can merge the various patches
(from Wei, me, and yours) in a first-come-first-serve order as he always does
and resolve the (trivial) merge conflicts himself. I guess he won't respond
until -rc1 is out. Beside this, I'm not sure if your patch can still go into
3.10 so it may have to wait till 3.11.
