Len does not pull my tree, I send series to him and cc linux-acpi.
But if it could help early integration, maybe linux-next is the right way to go.
I'm not very familiar with it, the only thing I have to do is create a
"for-next" branch (no rebase, only finalized patchs) and them ask
Andrew (or someone else ?) to add it to linux-next ?
