I only merge other people's trees, so you need to set up a git tree
somewhere and tell me (cc'ing linux-next and all other appropriate
lists/people) where it is and which branch to fetch.  I then fetch that
branch each day and merge it with everything else.

Getting your code merged by Linus during this merge window is up to Linus
and Russell or Tony, I guess.  But I cannot take new trees now until
after -rc1 is out.  So if you really want your code merged during this
merge window, your best bet is to convince Russell and/or Tony.

Having your tree in linux-next may be useful for ongoing development
unless Tony thinks it may be better for you to just submit your code
through his omap tree.
