Ok, who should I expect to take this series from? I think the last
batch came through Andrew. The kernel/smp.c file seems to be one of
those "unclear maintenance rules" one. The git statistics for the last
12 months seem to be

  Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> (commit_signer:4/9=44%)
  Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org> (commit_signer:2/9=22%)
  Milton Miller <miltonm@....com> (commit_signer:2/9=22%)
  Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org> (commit_signer:2/9=22%)
  Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu> (commit_signer:2/9=22%)

according to get_maintainer.pl. Should I just take these directly?
