It all depends on how big your patch turns out to be; if it's sufficiently 
large then it would probably be best to wait for -rc1, rebase your patch 
to it, carry any acks that you have received, and ask it to be merged for 
-rc2 to reduce conflicts with other code being pushed during the merge 
window.  Otherwise, just make a big patch and ask Andrew to carry it in 
the -mm tree but make sure to base it off linux-next as it sits today.  
You'll want to clone
