Good to see you send the pull request fast.

As far as I looked at it, some recent commits are missing in this
tree.  And, this tree would give a conflict with the update of Sparc
tree from Dave. 
But, if Linus already pulled it, then it's fine, I'll prepare the next
pull stuff later.

*HOWEVER*: Jaroslav, please change your GIT management style to the
normal one.
You cherry-pick each commit on my git tree into yours,
i.e. effectively rebase and break the whole clean topic branches on my
git tree[*] (and even worse, you rebase at each time you sync, so it
breaks doubly!).

"Divide & conquer" is definitely no good way for GIT.  "Pull & merge"
is the standard way.

So, I sincerely hope you'll switch to that normal style in future.

thanks,

Takashi
