For asm-generic:

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Have you discussed how the series should get merged? I assume an initial
set of patches can just go through architecture maintainer trees, but
whatever patches don't get picked up that way would go through either
Andrew's -mm tree (for memory management) or my asm-generic tree
(for cross-architecture cleanups).

Since there is still at least one regression, I expect not to do anything
for now. Please let me know when/if you expect me to merge the
remaining patches.
