Yes, it looks reasonable.

No, it won't, as long as I don't rebase the original acpi-scan branch (which
I'm not going to do) and you don't rebase your
pci/yinghai-survey-resources+acpi-scan branch going forward.

The pull makes your tree contain the same commits (i.e. commit IDs along with
the data) that are in my acpi-scan branch, so when Linus merges them together,
git will notice that the commits are the same.

Thanks,
Rafael
