I've made 2 bins of the patches to separate out the ones which have NOT changed since v2. I'll send them under separate cover letters to make it easier for reviewers - BTW addition of your ACKs is not being counted as changed - although it's a big change for the patches :-) > Are the patches already part of Linux-next?

Does it have to be a tag or a branch (typically I see people have branches in next). (2) Can Stephan pull my branch from github or do I need to be setup apriori on kernel.org. If latter, whom do I need to contact. (3) That branch will be ARC patches on top of Linus's 3.8 rc4. Actually for my development, I'd also cherry picked a few patches from linux-next (soft and hard dependencies from several different *next trees) - hard ones being f13a366 CONFIG_GENERIC_SIGALTSTACK build breakage with asm-generic/syscalls.h [Al] b6fca sysctl: Enable IA64 "ignore-unaligned-usertrap" to be used cross-arch [ia64] Now when I put up a branch for Stephan I guess these should be taken out of ARC branch otherwise merge into linux-next will fail ? (4) Above series (pure ARC patches) merges fine in today's linux-next, except for a patch touching init/Kconfig (already acked by parisc maintainer) which is slightly different if based off 3.8-rc4 vs. linux-next (because of interim merge) so I'm hoping my tree doesn't get "dropped" from linux-next because of that. But then how will it get fixed. > I would also recommend to only send incremental patches after that, > as well as new versions of some of the patches if you decide to > replace them based on comments you get. Absolutely - I'm tired of rebasing and chopping/merging as well - so anything new will be on top of these (no rebasing).
