Hi Linus,

Yeah, Andrew and I came to an arrangement this round so that almost all
of his series is based only on your tree. Currently I have 375 patches
based on v3.11-rc7-14-gfa8218d in a branch that I just merge each day.
The remaining bit (which contains the series that caused this thread) is
now only 38 patches (after removing the stuff that Al has taken) is still
rebased on top of linux-next each day due to dependencies on other trees
in linux-next. (Yes, I know this is not ideal, but it is a work in
progress.)

So, Andrew, you should be able to just about send those 375 patches to
Linus (I know that there may be some fix folding to do before that) and
have him apply them on top of v3.11-rc7-14-gfa8218d in a separate branch
and then merge that branch. I have included the "git diff-tree --cc"
output from my merge of that into linux-next yesterday. Some of it is
not applicable yet (since there are still some other outstanding trees),
but it gives you some idea of how little the merge is a problem.

I hope this is helpful.
