Ick, rcu and random driver changes? That's not ok, I'll go queue this
up, if Android devices need to make these core changes, they can do that
in their kernel or submit a patch that makes sense for everyone.

Also, one meta-comment:

> kernel/configs/android-base.config | 1 -

This whole file can be deleted now, with the way Android kernels are now
being managed it makes no sense anymore. I'll write up a patch to do
that later tonight.

thanks,
