Hi Linus,

Are you planning on pulling the random tree this cycle?  I'm not sure
if you wanted to let it soak for a few days in linux-next, or whether
you want to wait another full release cycle, given that the random
tree had gotten dropped from linux-next some time ago without my
realizing it.  (The code has actually been soaking for 1.5 releases,
since I wanted to give it lots of soak time, but of course, it would
have been more helpful if it actually was in linux-next.  Sigh...)

It's next in line in my queue, so unless it blows up spectacularly in
my face I'm pulling it this cycle. It's not liek the pull request
looks particularly scary,
