Further trying to remove my brown paper bag: I thought the '?(...)' type
of thing would be something _users_ would pass on the perf tool command

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git perf/core

If they are super urgent, then they will go to a different branch,
perf/urgent, that is targetted for the current merge window, i.e. right

 perf/core   -> 4.17
 perf/urgent -> 4.16

Thanks, and keep the patches flowing!
