Hi folks, is there an ETA on this getting to Linus?
The breakage has propagated to the networking trees, if the fix reaches
Linus soon we'll just hold off on applying stuff and fast forward again.

Are the commit IDs stable on x86/bugs? 
Would it be rude if we pulled that in?

I think normally yes.

If this is holding stuff up, you have a pretty good excuse. It
shouldn't be the normal workflow, but hey, it's not a normal problem.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I hate the embargoed stuff, and every single
time it happens I expect fallout from the fact that we couldn't use
the usual bots for build and boot testing.

All our processes are geared towards open development, and I think
that's exactly how they *should* be.

But then that means that they fail horribly for the embargoes.

Anyway, go ahead and just pull in the fixes if this holds up your
normal workflow.

And if we end up with duplicates due to rebases (or worse yet, merge
issues due to rebases with other changes), it is what it is. Can't
blame you.

Yah, and this time ain't no different.

I was thinking of sending it to you now but Jakub pulled already. So
I'll send it to you on Sunday.

Thx.
