Yes, the original author just contacted me to tell me.  It seems to me
that we have a process problem when a bug gets fixed on March 28th,
but not propagated upstream by June 10th.  That's almost 11 weeks,
and I'm sure it'll be more by the time it's finally merged.  I thought
the days of ACPI process problems were behind us ;-(
