Better if you can set up a git tree (or quilt series) somewhere as I
intend to only carry fixup patches myself in linux-next (so far).  Also
that means when you update your patches, I will just fetch them
automatically.

If this stuff depends on David's work, then I need to know that
explicitly so I can do ordering.  If it depends closely (i.e. changes in
Davids tree need to be reflected in yours) then you and David need to
come to some arrangement (maybe David could host your tree as a branch of
his (managing conflicts/updates).
