What patches in the -ac kernels get put into the mainstream kernel? For
instance, I would assume that fixes in 2.6.0-test1-ac1 would make it into
2.6.0-test2, but I'm not sure how that works, surely no one is just dropping
those fixes and not applying them at some point to the mainline kernels. So
I guess my question is, at what point does Linus' tree sync with Alan's?

I'm trying to hoover up patches that make things work so it can get more
people testing more and more driver stuff so that when Linus is back I
can nuke his mailbox from orbit...

Thanks. I'm not going to OLS so I should have a bit of time to generate these
