What does it mean in this list when a patch is listed as "Merge"? Does that mean these patches will be merged into the 2.6.24 mainline? Or they will appear in 2.6.24-mm?

If the write balancing for tasks is merged, that is going to be a major win for 2.6.24. I've been using it in a -mm kernel for a while and the improvement over 2.6.22 is obvious.

"Merge" roughly means "will sent to Linus for inclusion into 2.6.24". ;-)
