Applying bug fixes to one tree and pushing those to 2.6.37 and doing
feature work in another which also depend upon those same bug fixes...
The merges I felt were fairly infrequent, either after a pull request and
subsequent fast-forward of -fixes (so that -next was always a superset of
the current upstream rc) or I applied a patch to -fixes that would
conflict with -next. After those, I did an immediate merge to resolve the
conflict whilst the code was still fresh.

The whole point of trying to keep two trees intact is to be able to
perform continuous testing on both. No matter how hard I try not to, it
seems I always break Linus's machine.

FIFO watermarks, they determine when the display fetches from the scanout
buffer to fill the pipe. If we run out of FIFO entries then the display
flickers at best, at worst we may hard hang the machine.
