/me checks ...

Yes, it indeed is that way -- Andew pulls whole linux-next as one of the
patches into -mm series.

To make linux-next really working the way it is intended to work we need
to have -mm part of it, as it is used as a last point for a non-trivial
amount of patches before they enter Linus' tree.

Andrew, why do we have the current setup, and not the other way around?
