I have no idea what tree they are against, but I'm pretty sure it's not my tree. I _have_ applied patches [1-4/7] and pushed them to linux-pm.git/linux-next. I needed to fix up almost all of them so that they applied, so please check if my fixups make sense (and let me know ASAP if that's not the case). If they are OK, please rebase the rest of the series on top of linux-pm.git/linux-next and repost. I'm not going to take any more patches that don't apply from you. Moreover, I'm not going to take any more ACPI memory hotplug patches for v3.8 except for the [5-7/7] from this series (after they have been rebased and _if_ they apply), so please don't submit any until the v3.8 merge window closes (of course, you're free to post RFCs, but I will ignore them).
