Right,

so tglx and I took a quick look and came to the conclusion that it would
be best if you - provided it is not too much trouble - keep applying
this patch so that linux-next can get tested properly and we - Wei or I
- explain this merge conflict in our pull requests during the next merge
window and ask Linus to merge your patch ontop. This way we'll save us
the cross-tree merging dance.
