Ah, sorry, I missed that. You're right, it should probably go through
someone else's tree then.

Since we haven't agreed on the __get_user_64() patch yet, I would be
in favor of getting the changes pulled in that have already been
reviewed and acknowledged. I rather don't want the other contributors
to wait any longer. Arnd in particular has done a tremendous job to
untangle all the SH-5 code and I think we should finally get this
in :).

Thanks,
Adrian
