I agreed with that because IMHO you may treat a "looks ok" from
a relevant subsystem maintainer like an acked-by. There is no
*obligation* to do so -- it's merely that if you think it's worth
noting and it will help get your patches upstream you can.

I told you to queue the patches because you needed them as prereqs
and I was expecting the timing to work out such that you'd get a pullreq
taken so they'd get upstream while I was away.
Since it didn't and I wanted them in 1.7 I put them in my pullreq (which
is technically the better place for them since they're ARM patches, not
QOM ones). I don't see this as a big deal.
