Well, it's a broader issue than that.  I often see a large number of
rejects when syncing mainline with linux-next during the merge window.

and that is typical.  I've never really bothered working out why this
is happening.

I suspect monkey business is afoot.  People are magically finding new
patches or new versions of old patches when the merge window opens up.

Also, some dope has just gone and added sys_numa_mbind() and
sys_numa_tbind() to linux-next, nicely trashing a few things which were
lined up for 3.5-rc1.
