That's good to hear.  I took a look at the changes the other day, and
they looked a little too deep for me to safely fix on my own.

I'd love to help test things out as things start to come together.
Let me know where to pull from, and I'll compile and give it some
gentle testing on a 3-node setup.

I historically make drbd9 work "for-me" on new kernels as they come
out with the intent of prettying up my patches and submitting them
here (e.g., compat patch build system stuff for older kernels), but
rarely manage to follow through before you guys fix it upstream.
