I've got these four from Jason A. Donenfeld queued up in tip:WIP.x86/asm: bd5b1283e41c: ("crypto: Curve25519 - do not pollute dispatcher based on assembler") 829f32d78588: ("crypto: X86 - rework configuration, based on Kconfig") 95ef9f80ed63: ("x86/build: Probe assembler from Kconfig instead of Kbuild") 1651e700664b: ("x86: Fix bitops.h warning with a moved cast") I suppose these might interact (maybe even conflict), and are topically related. Would you like to pull these into the kbuild tree? You can find them in: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git WIP.x86/asm Thanks, Ingo
