While x86 usually goes through tip and none of the x86 maintainers
commented before Jonathan applied, it got positive feedback from hpa and
peterz a month ago and iio depends on it.

So I suggest to do the practical thing and pull Jonathan's branch into
tip. Technically that doesn't make a difference (apart from maybe branch
vs tag preferences).
