Yes, the trees do match.  I certainly never expected our ancient git
history to get merged in directly upstream.  I've made a new branch on:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frob/linux-2.6-utrace.git
called:
	next/master
(Actually it's on master.kernel.org and the public mirror is being a little
slow as I write this.)

This starts from v2.6.33-rc4 and then has commits for the 7 patches that
Oleg posted in December.  Beyond that, we've added one follow-on patch to
fix a bug Oleg just tracked down (Oleg will post that patch soon).  And
I've added one more commit with a MAINTAINERS update, shown below.

You can also find the same stuff from the series file and patch files in:
	http://people.redhat.com/utrace/2.6-next/

If it makes things easier for linux-next to have this git branch either
rebased or merged from a different fork point, please let me know.


Thanks,
Roland
