My plan all along has been to update the kernel.org
trees when that became possible. I have not yet updated
my various credentials and have not re-synched kernel.org.

I am out of town and will be until Tuesday night. This
is my first time back online for a few days. I expect
to be updating things this coming week, unless I run into
some sort of roadblock.
