Yes, I'm well aware that the author of the ARM patches are Yalin Wang.

Right, what that means is that no one is doing that.  What you've also
said in this thread now is that the ARM patches should not be applied
until all the other users are converted.  As those patches are going via
other trees, that means the ARM patches can only be applied _after_ the
next merge window _if_ all maintainers pick up the previous set.

As I'm not tracking the status of what other maintainers do, I'm simply
going to avoid applying these patches until after the next merge window
and hope that the other maintainers pick the dependent patches up and get
them in during the next merge window.  If not, I guess we'll see compile
breakage.
