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.
