Looks about right.

Ok, good to know. Just as an optimization to your workflow, in case
you're interested: the tip/master branch merges all tip branches so if
you're trying to prioritize which branches to test first due to resource
constraints, I'd go with tip/master first and then, when I have free
cycles, I'd do the topic branches.

Just as an idea...

Ok, cool. I'll talk to tglx about it and might even send you a pull
request.

Thx.
