Thanks, this series looks really good!

Wrt. integration: i'd prefer to carry these four patches in the 
tip:x86/early-printk tree (to be merged into v2.6.37), because
there's some interaction with other x86 bits.

AFAICS the two serial patches:

 [PATCH 1/2] serial: mrst_max3110: some code cleanup
 [PATCH 2/2] mrst_max3110: Make the IRQ option runtime

Are structurally independent from the earlyprintk patches and could be 
carried separately in the serial tree.

Alan, Greg, what's your preference?

Thanks,

	Ingo
