Hi Alan,

Regarding my requests:

1. PowerPC: Align power7 memcpy using VSX to quadword              - pending review
    https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00355.html

I check with my team to review this one.

* memmove patches:

2. [PATCH] PowerPC: optimized memmove for POWER7/PPC64             - pending review
    https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00597.html
3. [PATCH] PowerPC: Guard CALL_ELF check for ppc64 only in link.h  - OK
    https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00683.html
4. [PATCH] PowerPC: memmove default implementation cleanup         - OK
    https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00684.html
5. [PATCH] PowerPC: optimized memmove for POWER7/PPC32             - pending review
    https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00685.html

I check with my team to speed up review for 2., and 5.

* strcat patches

6. [PATCH] PowerPC: strcat optimization for PPC64/POWER7
   https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-07/msg00049.html

I will commit this shortly, since the patch itself it straightforward (it is just
an adjustment of powerpc strcat implementation for power7/ifunc). 


* fmemopen

7. [PATCH 1/3] libio: Refactor tst-fmemopen to use test-skeleton.c - OK
    https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00617.html
8. [PATCH v2 2/3] libio: Update tst-fmemopen2.c                    - OK
    https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00933.html
9. [PATCH v3 3/3] libio: fmemopen rewrite to POSIX compliance      - pending review
    https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-07/msg00050.html

The first patch, 7., has been review and do not really interfere with current GLIBC
tests output.  However 8. relies on a correct posix compliant fmemopen to work correctly.
It has been reviewed and last review lead to a small fix (v3) for 9.
My idea is to commit all of them in a set.
