OK.  Then there are about six commits from that string that are small,
simple fixes for bugs introduced in earlier patches, that only affect
arch/powerpc.  They should go into Linus' tree as soon as possible.

How do you want to handle those?  Do you want them as patches or as a
git tree, and if the latter, what do you prefer that I base them on?
Or should I send them in via Ben?
