Ok, broke out the sched/headers WIP branch into a separate announcement, in 
case others want to test:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/tip.git sched/headers

Note that I sometimes will update the 'master' branch as well, without a 
standalone announcement, if there's some important fix or the previous 
version moved away too much.

Also, where I backmerged your fixes to manual commits I credited you with:

   [ Fixes by Nathan Chancellor ]

   Fixed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@...nel.org>

The (rare) exception would be straight dependency additions such as the 
<linux/string.h> additions, which are auto-generated from scratch to keep 
it maintainable & reviewable - if that's fine with you.

Thanks,

	Ingo
