Thanks, that’s great! (Having no ethernet is a bit limitating…)
Please don’t forget to update the defconfigs (there are two commits
to that effect in the queue, but that must of course be split matching
the features actually submitted…).

OK. While I don’t strictly need it, I can think of these:
• Reclaim chip RAM on Amiga
• Reserve ST RAM early

No idea about the required status of the other patches, e.g. Mac. Finn?

I’m Bcc’ing the Debian Kernel person I was talking to, so we may
get an agreement. I’ll revisit your gitweb later then, to see
which patches you actually schedule for Linus, and try to get
them into Debian.
