I would chalk up any delay in patch reviews as due to lack of time  
because of the holidays. :-) The LLVM group tends to be pretty good  
at reviewing such things in a timely fashion. If you feel that  
something is pressing though, maybe it would be good to ping the  
group again with said patch, or, if the patch could be split up into  
smaller increments, submit those as they are easier to review/apply. :-)
