Yeah, it's fine to me if you do merges, but could you please do a x86/mm tree 
where all your merge commit messages are amended with a 'Merge reason' 
explanation?

See commit a4c98f8bbeafee12c979c90743f6fda94f7515c7 for an example of how Merge 
reason lines look like.

This is what we do for all merge commits in the -tip tree - that way it's clear 
in retrospect why a particular merge was done.

Thanks,
