Well, that got more complicated.  :(  No cookie for you.

After my recent discussions with tglx, here's my proposal:

- rmk creates a dedicated topic branch with patch 8

- Bjorn creates a dedicated topic branch based on rmk's with 2, 3, 4, 5,
  and 10

- tglx creates a dedicated topic branch based on Bjorn's with 1, 6, 7

- I take 9 and 11.

For Tegra, tglx can tag patch 1 for merging.  Tegra will 'adopt' patch
10, but that shouldn't hurt anything.

thx,

Jason.
