Was planning on doing this in about a week when the tree opened up again 
but have not heard back from either of the guys on the list that were 
finishing the patch cleanup.

Part of it was merged already, but of the remaining part I had gotten 
through about 2/3 - including modifying some of the ip address parsing 
(I also had some minor questions about the way one of the parms was 
passed - but it was mostly  minor changes) - two people on the list 
volunteered to clean up the remainder (I had gotten about 2/3 of the 
way) but have not heard back from them.

2.6.22 should be out any day so don't mind requesting a merge soon 
thereafter.  I was hoping that it would make the first big merge after 
the kernel tree opens up this week.  It is getting a little harder to 
merge anything now since I have been running scripts/checkpatch.pl 
against the cifs tree to fix up over a thousand (!) minor formatting 
problems (to match kernel style requirements) and diffs don't merge as 
cleanly.
