I was doing my development against linux-next.  After I posted them and
decided to commit them to my -next tree I realized they didn't commit
due to hch's patch.  So I cherry picked hch's patch and decided I
wouldn't ask linus to pull until after the hch patch went in (I did it
for some things in the net-next tree as well as I recall)

What's the best way?  To handle this?  do you prefer to just carry the
conflict fix?  should we cherry pick things and fix it ourselves?  I
guess my method breaks down if the tree in question doesn't eventually
go to linus like it should.....
