I doubt that we'll resolve all issues with this series before the
holidays or even the next merge window. Could you take this patch into
your tree for 3.14? It is not directly related to the cpufreq work and
fixes an actual issue that triggers a kernel WARN under some condition
(I missed preserving the details and the trace). That would take the
easy stuff out of the way and we can focus on the more controversial
changes.

	Thanks,
	Sören
