[...] Patches 3 "crypto: testmgr - update LZO compression test vectors", 58 "dccp: fix auto-loading of dccp(_probe)", 60 "dccp: catch failed request_module call in dccp_probe init", 61 "dmaengine: fix missing cnt in ?: in dmatest" and 62 "ipv6: Fix return of xfrm6_tunnel_rcv()" have a git cherry-pick line in the commit mesage rather than the usual "commit xxx upstream." Patches 10 and 59 didn't reach me at all, though I can guess from its neighbours that 59 is cherry-picked from commit d984e6197ecd2babc1537f42dc1e676133005cda upstream. Ben.
