Andrew suggested I send my patches at -rc2.

I think it'd be easier for a single downstream
maintainer to coordinate these patch sets sequencing.

You or Andrew might be better than you and Andrew.

There is a small patch to printk that should likely
be applied in some form for -rc1 or earlier:

Sylvain Munaut's (cc'd) print_time fix:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1845971/

I don't know of anything else that likely will
or should be applied before -rc1.

Frederic Weisbecker (also cc'd) has a printk nohz
patch series that merits some consideration too.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/20/94
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/14/646
I don't know if Ingo pulled it in somewhere or not.

cheers, Joe
