Thanks for your feedback and ongoing coaching Chase.  :-)  I sincerely
appreciate it!

Agreed.  I'm not inclined to push for this one as an Ubuntu SRU.  And I
already forwarded the patch upstream to LKML and linux-acpi.

Questions:

1. Was it okay that I sent it upstream and to kernel-team at l.u.c
simultaneously, or was I supposed to send to k-t first and wait for some
Ack's before sending upstream?

2. What would have been the proper subject line for this?  I mean, how
do I send a patch to k-t "for the purpose of getting some Ack's" without
asking that it be applied to any Ubuntu tree?  Should I just have left
out "UBUNTU: SAUCE:"?   Or maybe used  "[RFC PATCH]" also?

If I hadn't sent it off already, I certainly would have added your Ack.
I get the feeling that I did this "out of order".
