I'd like to get a little bit of an idea what you would prefer me to do.

I see two reasonable workflows:

  - I make a branch for the files that conflict with other changes in
    the ARM tree and submit pull requests to you (Russell) for these
    changes.  Other MSM-specific changes would be in another tree that
    goes to Linus.

  - I submit everything via pull requests to you.  This would probably
    result in one additional request to you, that contained the stuff
    that didn't conflict, since it would be nice to resolve the obvious
    conflicts earlier.

The later is more work for you, and less for Linus.

Thanks,
David
