Yeah, see that mail in [1]:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170216154158.19244.66630.stgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"This patch series is based off of the master branch of tip.
Commit a27cb9e1b2b4 ("Merge branch 'WIP.sched/core'")"

$ git describe a27cb9e1b2b4
v4.10-rc7-681-ga27cb9e1b2b4

So you need the SME pile first and then that SVE pile. But the first
patch needs refreshing as it is using a different base than the SME
pile. :-)

Tom, Brijesh, perhaps you guys could push a full tree somewhere - github
or so - for people to pull, in addition to the patchset on lkml.

Thanks.
