But also be said as I intended these as the simple part of the dma work I'd like to get into 4.3. Andrew, if you think it's not 4.3 material I'd rather keep them in my git tree for now so that I can stack additional patches I have in progress on top. A non-git based tree like yours is unfortunately very bad for patches that are dependencies for others.
