If nobody ever acks your patches, they probably aren't that important. At
the very least, something that nobody has looked at shouldn't be included
if it's going to introduce a regression.

If it touches mm, then there is someone on this list who can ack it and
you can cc them by looking at the output of scripts/get_maintainer.pl. If
nobody is interested in it, or if it doesn't do anything important, nobody
is going to spend their time reviewing it.
I'm not going to continue this thread, the patch in question has been
removed from -mm so I have no further interest in discussing it.
