This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Staging: hv: fix sysfs symlink on hv block device
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also will be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: Staging: hv: fix sysfs symlink on hv block device
The block device does not create the proper symlink in sysfs because we
forgot to set up the gendisk structure properly. This patch fixes the
issue.
