i've created a new -git based topic branch in tip/core/warn-API and 
picked up your patches:

 Arjan van de Ven (16):
      full tree: clear the WARN() namespace
      core: add a WARN() macro that acts like WARN_ON()+printk
      kobject: introduce WARN() usage in the kobject code
      irq: use WARN() in kernel/irq/manage.c
      mm: use WARN() in mm/vmalloc.c
      lockdep: use WARN() in kernel/lockdep.c
      irq: use WARN() in kernel/irq/chip.c
      x86: use WARN() in arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c
      x86: use WARN() in arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c
      x86: use WARN() in arch/x86/kernel
      block: use WARN() in block/
      driver core: use WARN() in drivers/base/
      core libs: use WARN() in lib/
      fs: use WARN() in fs/
      sysfs: use WARN() in fs/sysfs
      procfs: use WARN() in fs/proc/

it can be picked up via:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git core/warn-API

( Note, i added a few more tree-wide namespace preparation fixes to the 
  first patch - a few more came in since you first prepared this patch i 
  guess. )
