I wrote a script a week or so ago that exports my quilt series to a git
tree based on tip branches; the locking/core tree is:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git locking/core

It has the rwsem opt spinning patches and the qrwlock in.

I still need to look at the last qspinlock thing, the last time I looked
at that the paravirt stuff wrecked the native case.


I _think_ tip/locking/core is empty and you could pull that into your
tree without getting tons of extra weird stuff, but if you prefer a tree
based on your git tree I'll have to do some manual stuff but that is
certainly possible.

Also, this 'obviously' does not have the normal tip build coverage,
because I usually rely on the tip build robots to do that. But it does
build and run for all my local machines.
