Linus,

Is this something that can go into this -rc release or would you want
me to wait till the next merge window?

The reason I ask, is that there's two arch patches in this series that
have stable tags attached to them. But I moved things around such that
they are applied before the global arch patches are and can be applied
independently.

Should I move those two patches up front and just add those to this
release cycle, or would you like the entire series now?
