Ben, and please I've told you this before, if you need a specific
upstream fix do your testing on a branch that pulls in Linus's tree
or, alternatively, apply the fix you need by hand using "git stash" or
similar.

All of this is in your own hands.  You do not need me to merge in
every single upstream fix you might need.

I have this issue myself when testing both the sparc tree and the
various net trees all the time.
