So, in preparation for the next merge window...

Is there an official way for ARM platform maintainers like myself to
get stuff merged via Linus' tree? Is simply sending a pull request to
Linus/LKML all that's required?

For myself, I have the pending stuff queued up in a 'for-next' branch
that is included into linux-next already. Is anything else required?
