I'm happy to do that, but it is outside the scope of my limited git
experience.  My guess is that I should do this (doing the pull into a
branch which I later merge into my -next branch):

  $ git checkout -b pci/yinghai-survey-resources+acpi-scan
pci/yinghai-survey-resources
  $ git pull --no-ff --log
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git
acpi-scan
  $ vi drivers/acpi/pci_root.c    # resolve conflicts
  $ git add drivers/acpi/pci_root.c
  $ git commit

  $ git checkout next
  $ git merge --no-ff --log pci/yinghai-survey-resources+acpi-scan

Is that reasonable?  This won't cause issues when both Rafael and I
ask Linus to pull from our trees later?
