So through which tree did this end up in -next?

Apparently Nicolas committed 9520b1a1b5f7a348 ("ARM: head-common.S: speed up
startup code") himself, and then asked me to send the fix for that commit to
Russell anyway?
The commit above is actually in Russell's
git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm.git#for-next.

Russell, you did merge it yourself into for-next in commit 476242482bdee72b
("Merge branch 'xip_zdata' of http://git.linaro.org/people/nicolas.pitre/linux
into devel-testing").

My patch applies fine against your for-next branch. So I fail to see why
you can't take this patch?

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                        Geert
