Thomas/Ingo/Borislav? My reasoning to suggest to go directly to you is that there's practically not a whole lotta sense to add a separate branch to tip, merge Dave's tree and have a merge commit of the mpx branch only which you then merge into your master. Or I can apply each patch separately and then send you that branch so that there's no pointless merge commit in the history before you merge it but we get the same if you merge Dave's branch directly... Oh and btw: I ran a bunch of build smoke tests today of the mpx removal branch with tip/master merged in and except for a trivial include fix, there were no issues. But if someone points out a valid argument why it should go through tip, I'll gladly do it. Thx guys. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette
