Part of the plan was that Doug's tree would be merged before
Bruce's. But the above problem description looks like the
maintainer trees were merged into linux-next in the other order.

I'd like to make this simpler for everyone. Bruce, may I send
my for-4.5 NFS/RDMA server patches to Doug with your Acked-by?
That way, merge order won't matter.

Doug, what is the URL for the branch I should rebase on?
