Given tht we've not made much progress with the common branch,

I'll defer other architectures that depend on the common changes to
5.11 then.
I'm OK taking it, but there's a few things I'd like to sort out. IIRC I put it
on a temporary branch over here
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/linux.git/log/?h=riscv-remove_set_fs
under the assumption it might get lost otherwise, but let me know if that's not
what you were looking for.
Well, we'll want it in linux-next and then 5.10. Either a merge through
the RISC-V maintainer, or as part of the base branch from Al would
make sense to me.
Sorry, I guess my question was really: does that branch have all the
dependencies necessary for the RISC-V stuff to actually work? IIRC this actual
patch set depended on some other one, and while I thinK I got everything I
don't want to pull in something broken.
Arnd: Are you OK with the asm-generic stuff? I couldn't find anything in my
mail history, so sorry if I just missed it.
Al: IIRC the plan here was to have me merge in a feature branch with this
stuff, but it'd have to be based on your for-next as there are some
dependencies over there. I see 5ae4998b5d6f ("powerpc: remove address space
overrides using set_fs()") in vfs/for-next so I think we should be OK, but let
me know if I'm doing something wrong.
