David, I don't know what to do until there's some clarity on the
numa/sched changes.  Andrea has a new autonuma patchset, Peter's code
is in -next and I don't know if it's planned for 3.7 merging.  And I
suspect (hope) that it won't be merged if that is indeed planned.

Two days I asked what's going on and didn't get told.  I put the entire
MM merge on hold yesterday and went off to do other things.  At present
I plan to restage MM against mainline and send it all along to Linus on
Monday.  If that happens and if you wish that the sparc changes be
merged for 3.7, I suggest that you rebase and retest on Tuesday and ask
Linus to pull it, with my ack.

Sorry.
