Note that this patch already made its way into tip as commit
bcae21d6e793a7047d38abc9ac0946c53733c1dd so it might be best to base
whatever tree this is supposed to fo into on something that includes
that.

How would you like to proceed with these patches, I'm fine with them
going through the ARM tree..

In which case:

Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>

Ingo, Russell, any other preferences?
