if we reach the point where any kind of coordination is needed between
your and my tree, I would just merge into wireless-next-2.6 tree instead
of net-next-2.6. That should solve most issues around this anyway. And
in case it doesn't we will always need manual interaction on one side.
So I wouldn't try to overthink this right now.

The only tricky part I see is wireless-testing since bluetooth-testing
is not immutable right now. And I don't have any intention to make it
that way.
