Oh... I didn't realize 3.5 and 3.11 were still being maintained
(kernel.org doesn't list them).

The 3.4 tree will probably port to 3.5 relatively cleanly... And the
3.13 set would probably more easily port to 3.11 then the 3.10 set. Let
me know if you run into trouble there.

As for something to validate with, I've got my test collection here:
    https://github.com/johnstultz-work/timetests

And again, feel free to queue them, but don't apply until after rc2
(I'll be resubmitting my queues then).

thanks
-john
