I guess that means this URI:

 git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc.git memblock

right?

Thanks Ben.

Dave, can you confirm that it works fine on Sparc? If it does then i'd like to 
pull your tree and use it as a base from that point on. I can push it to 
linux-next as well and treat it together with Yinghai's x86 changes. Would 
that be fine with you, or would you like to push it to Linus?

Also, after some testing we could send the tree cut at this point:

  506e7de: lmb: rename to memblock

to Linus straight away - to get the big rename out of the way:

 74 files changed, 1039 insertions(+), 1039 deletions(-)

Hm?
