There is one pending issue with these patches, but other than the above
possibility the other one is to see if Bjorn is OK for these 2 PCI patches
to go through Andrew's tree for the current merge window with his Acked-by.

I've met Palmer in person, and at the sifive offices and signed his key.
Recently Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> also signed his key.
