Not too explicitly, but I think Andrew mentions it in "The Perfect Patch":

        http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt

While you are looking, you might review Jeff's version of the same idea:

It's not terribly critical, but it does slow me down if I have to

I have all of these in the upstream branch of wireless-2.6.  BTW,
I have _not_ applied the Init patch yet. But I still have it, so I'll
just combine that w/ the new patch you posted this afternoon.

The archives show this as being posted today at ~2:00pm EDT, but I
seem to have missed it?  Could you resend it just to me?

We all go through it -- if you start feeding another maintainer,
he/she will probably have other quirks too... :-)
