Too late for a rebase. I've already run it through my tests and posted,
I don't rebase anything that goes to linux-next unless there's a really
good reason to do so. I don't think this is one.

I'll just make sure Linus knows about it and have a link to point to
the proper end results. He's stated he's fine with those kinds of
solutions. And since this is only a documentation conflict, we don't
need to worry about mistakes causing subtle behavior with the kernel.
