OK, I got a bunch of acks, mostly it seems to have calmed down.
Heiko Carstens (s390 maintainer) says he won't apply whitespace changes:
http://mid.gmane.org/20150107083339.GB4365@osiris
so I dropped s390 patches.

The rest is tagged:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost.git tags/uaccess_for_upstream
and pushed out to linux-next.

I'll give it a couple of days there, then send a pull request - Arnd, you
meant I should send it to you, right?
