Is that the tree with the drivers as well?

Do you want us to pick things out here, or go off of a more recent tree
given the above mention of merging the arch-specific stuff to mainline?

Oh, and do you also need help with the arch-specific code as well, given
the recent changes in how the ARM developers are working with the rest
of the kernel community?  If so, we (well, at least I) can help out
there.
