This is the way things work. The patch clearly was not material for
2.6.24 given the timing. Therefore, it's 2.6.25. Therefore, since
if_sdio.c was ready to go in _August_, it hit 2.6.24, but you didn't
have it because your patch was based on 2.6.23, not 2.6.24-rc1. That's
distributed development. If you want a feature, you have to keep coming
back until it gets where you need to go, if you want the benefits of
distributed development.

In any case, thanks for the work. I'll see if I can pick it up.
