Yes, listed as "[PATCH 1/2] arch/sh: vmlinux.scr".

@Rich: Do you think you can merge all those fixes in your local tree within
       the next days and send a PR to Linus?

Otherwise, I can volunteer to become a third maintainer for arch/sh as I have
the hardware for testing and can accept patches and send PRs.

We shouldn't let contributors to arch/sh wait for too long.

Adrian
