OK cool. How about Omar first posts the fixed minimal patches to move things to live under drivers so can fix up omap for ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM? I can then put just those into an immutable branch that people can pull in as needed, and you guys can continue from there with the common mailbox framework (and I can continue work on the core omap code independently of the mailbox framwork work).
