I normally don't have a lot of material for asm-generic either, half

expect future changes to the bitmap implementation to only need
an occasional bugfix, which could go through either the asm-generic
tree or through mm and doesn't need another separate pull request.
If it turns out to be a tree that needs regular updates every time,
then having a top level repository in linux-next would be appropriate.
Agree. asm-generic may serve for this. My worries are solely about how
much burden we add on Andrew's shoulders.
Is fine. Saving other developers from having to maintain tiny trees is
a thing I do.
