I think Linus is concentrating mainly on the VM right now. One of
myself, Alan, or rth will resend the alpha fixes to Linus once he opens
up the patch floodgates again :)

If you need the patch to fix alpha, simply take alan's patch and cut
away the non-alpha parts. I think the only thing that doesn't need to
get merged over to the Linus tree is the init_mmap stuff.
