I suggest that you take it via sparc-next-2.6.

With your usual track schedule you will soon have this
merged and Kyle can rebase on top of linus' tree.

This will also allow us to do some minimal testing to
check that the conversion to the vmlinux.lds based
alignmnet does not cause any troubles before we use
the generic version.

I will follow up if there is any fallout.
