OK will do, thanks.

Excellent!

Actually, I just realised this is where it gets a little complicated. If
you take those 3 patches and they're not in Oleg's tree, [PATCH 17/43]
doesn't apply cleanly. Fixing 17/43 up so it applies without patches
14-16 would result in something like this in handle_signal(),

if (!(ka->sa.sa_flags & SA_NODEFER)) {
block_sigmask(ka, sig);
}
return 1;

Which Linus would have to fixup to its original form when he merges the
two trees. I think all the microblaze patches should go through Oleg's
tree, but it's really up to you two and Linus.

Oleg, if Michal does take patches 14-16 I can send you an updated patch
to apply.
