Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the offer... I was hoping for Andrew to pick it up (which
he now has).

I'm not sure how best to do mm/ related stuff, but I suspect we have
gone as smoothly as we are in large part due to Andrew's reviewing
and martialling mm patches so well.

Not saying that wouldn't happen if the patches went to linux-next,
but I'm quite happy with how -mm works for mm development, so I will
prefer to submit to -mm unless Andrew asks otherwise.

For other developments I'll keep linux-next in mind. I guess it will
be useful for me eg in the case where I change an arch defined prototype
that requires a big sweep of the tree.

Thanks,
Nick
