Ok, so we have a "for-next" branch now:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git for-next

If you would include that in linux-next then you can drop the
following ones:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git#fixes
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git#features
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git#set_fs

Thanks a lot!
