thanks guys, i've added the Acked-by's and added a new -tip topic for
this.
The dependencies are a bit tricky and the changes contain mm/ and
include/asm-generic/ bits so lets try a new Git trick here to keep it
all tidy and disciplined for v2.6.27 merging.
So i've created a new tip/mm/xen topic branch (the 85th -tip topic
branch ;-), which is COW-ed off the current tip/x86/xen topic branch [on
which branch these changes have some dependencies], and added these 4
changes to that. The tip/x86/xen (append-only-) topic will continue to
advance as usual, and we likely wont have dependencies on the stuff in
tip/mm/xen. (if there will be such dependencies we can handle that too)
In v2.6.27 we can then offer up the two branches separately for upstream
merge, and tip/x86/xen will still only have x86 and xen changes, not any
mm changes. (Obviously tip/mm/xen will be offered after tip/x86/xen has
gone upstream - so that it will only contain these 4 patches ontop of
already-upstream changes)
it will all be auto-merged into linux-next so there this internal
structure is not visible, all the changes are available for wide testing
of course.
i've added these mm/ changes to auto-core-next (not auto-x86-next), if
that is fine by Andrew.
