I don't think that would've helped - unless Linus took all of linux-next into
his tree. The problem is that there were a substantial number of differences
between Linus-vanilla and linux-next (obviously), even mid-window.
To be fair, Linus had to fix up my patch set to apply to his vanilla tree, but
I did ask him to to pull the patches later in the merge window and hopefully
give me a chance to fix them up again before he did so. But I suppose arch
tree breakage was to be expected anyway in some arches.
However, I think the better way to have done this would've been to have the
arch-specific patches go through the arch trees first (and, indeed, Blackfin
did this and I was able to drop their patch from my set) - and then have the
generic patches go at the end.
Even better might've been to add a #warning into each asm/system.h in this
merge window and defer the final deletion to the next merge window.
