Base the tree on mainline and wreck the -mm patches I guess. I'm good at unwrecking patches. That assumes that we're going to merge this stuff into 3.4 - if we don't, unwrecker gets rewrecked and grumpy. I don't know if we're going to merge it into 3.4? I haven't been paying a lot of attention and haven't looked at the patches in a while.
