There's a very good question. The current master branch has a very dirty
history, with almost all 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 patches merged twice. I'm not
sure yet what would be the better way to handle the master branch.
To avoid make things worse, I'm considering to merge back at master only
after having the patches merged upstream.
