IOW, after applying upto any patch in the series, the tree should be buildable and working. * When posting a patch series, especially one as large as 211, please make the mails for the actual patches replies to the head message. Don't post it as 212 separate messages or replies to the immediate previous patch. So, in short, if you're adding a whole new arch, just post it as a single patch or a series of several patches if it requires changes outside of the specific arch subtree. Thanks. -- tejun
