I feared this would happen.  I didn't have time to look at AKASHI's v8
yesterday but hope to find some today. How do you think i should handle
conflicts with his patches? I don't think it is wise to include the changes
into my patches as that would make AKASHI's patches a prereq for mine. Is adding
one (multiple?) fixup patches on top of my series ok for you?

Thanks
