I don't hate merges that make sense, and that one looks fine. You
picked a logical merge point, and you wrote a merge message that
explains it. No problem.

Hmm... I only get

 725 files changed, 103936 insertions(+), 180480 deletions(-)

Which is still good, but nothing like your numbers. Where did you find
the extra 50k lines?

So I got several conflicts with the networking tree. Most of them were
trivial (eg driver removal conflicting with somebody trying to fix up
the now dead driver), but I really hope somebody looks at the
resulting drivers/staging/et131x/et131x.c file.

That driver wasn't removed, it was consolidated as one big file, and
so the fixes to the original files needed to be resolved. I tried to
do that correctly, but there's the skb_frag_dma_map() change and the
removal of .ndo_set_multicast_list, and while I think I did it right,
I really want somebody who knows that code to double check me.

Appropriate people to do that added to the cc,
