This patch didn't make mainline yet (3.15-rc6).
And why? Which tree currently holds it?
That I'm not sure, but it's carried on other distros, and being
(re)posted by the powerpc kernel guys.
Maybe because it had a different version made available recently, but
it was preferred to keep with an older version [1], which was in Linus's
github tree once [2], and is on Ubuntu Trusty's kernel [3].
It's not yet on Ben H (ok, Herrenschmidt this time; it seems 'benh'
nicknamed people tend to like kernels and powerpc stuff :-) 's
linux-next tree [4]; but I think it's because of the 'recently'
discussed reason/re-posted on linuxppc-dev [5].
So, it's expected to be submitted to -next in some time, since it's
acknowledged to be required. I just happen to don't know why.
I can ask Ben for further clarification if needed.
