But feel free to take these all in > your tree if that makes it easier: I just did a test merge and there was one file that was completely removed and one file with had changes a line or two above where my code changed. So nothing too difficult to result. I don't really mind either way. But keeping them all in one tree makes them easier to keep track of, and allows me to do things like see if I can remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(do_exit) as Christoph suggested.
