That's not a problem, that's what I've got already and if I try to send
everything based off -rc3 directly the series would get unmanagably
large. Actually unless you think it's a bad idea I think what I'll do
is go and send out a couple of the preparatory changes (the insn updates
and the last bit of annotation conversions) separately for that branch
while I finalize the revisions of the main BTI kernel bit, hopefully
that'll make the review a bit more approachable.
