I want to understand a bit about how these patches go to linux-next.
Mike would be sleeping right now, so will not disturb him ;)

Arnd,

Can you please help?

Just like Mike, you also asked me to base my patches on an rc release.
Now, few of the dependency patches are there in linux-next that i would need.
Some under my authorship, and some from others. And this number can be 30-50.

Should i ask Mike to apply all of them first and then my patches OR do that
myself and send a pull request. Which would mean all patches, that weren't
related to my patchset also get pushed through my branch. Isn't that a problem?
