OK, I think we can do this easily.  Send me your staging branches and
I'll pull them into a global staging branch and merge it with for-next
in linux-scsi ... this will ensure we don't get yelled at for duplicate
commits causing merge rejections in linux-next.  Since staging will be
volatile and for the purposes of testing patches on upstream track, we
don't need signed tags or anything.
