Ah but I don't want to annoy Linus by merging either.  In fact, he's
stated explicitly several times that I should *not* pull his tree into
mine, either by rebasing or merging; his position is that pulling an
old tree from me should be fine, since no one else should have commits
in the PCI area, or if they do they'll be trivial and he'll fix them
up.
