FWIW, I tested this on vexpress with CA9x4 tile with both 3.8-rc3 (Rob's branch) and latest linux-next. If you want to test this change for longer, I'm ok to leave it for 3.10 and stick it in -next at some point (after 3.9-rc1 since there are many conflicts). I'd like however to push the other trivial code-moving patches in this series. -- Catalin
