I've set up a GIT tree for the Tilera architecture support here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile.git

I kept the commit to fix up the "generic" unistd.h ABI and added Arnd's
Acked-by to the commit message, and I combined the v2 Tilera-specific
series of patches along with responses to the v2 patches into a single
commit, with appropriate Acked-by and Reviewed-by based on what folks
had said.

Stephen, in an ideal world you could add this repository to your set of
things you pull from into linux-next, and going forward I would then be
the gatekeeper for "arch/tile/" changes.  I'll plan to continue mailing
the diffs to LKML for public review, and push them up to git.kernel.org
after feedback has died down and they are ready to go to linux-next. 
Does that sound good to you?

Many thanks!
