I was refering to patches to the arch/ppc64 tree, and not patches that
go into the generic kernel.  The 1 or 2 patches I've had to generic
kernel code had have gone to LKML.  All the other patches I've done
go into bugzilla, and through some magical process :) eventually ship
as code.

As to more work for Paul and Anton, that's between them and thier
managers...  These various roles & responsibilities were announced
in meetings and emails ... I was just doing the management-directed
thing;  its news to me to learn I should now bypass Paul and Anton ...
or should I take this as a promotion? :)
