btw, just a tip, it would normally cost half time if the branch is
based directly on a mainline (RC) release, eg. v3.13, v3.13-rcX.
Because to evaluate a branch, we need to test&compare its BASE and
HEAD. If the BASE is v3.* kernels, the test infrastructure will very
likely have tested it.

Thanks,
Fengguang
