the -mm tree is structured as

<90% of stuff>
linux-next.patch
<the other 10% of stuff>

So things like Arnd's series which have a dependency on linux-next
material get added to the "other 10%" and are merged behind the
linux-next material and all is good.

If possible I'll queue things ahead of linux-next.patch.  Those few
things which have dependencies on linux-next material get sent to Linus
after the required linux-next material is merged into mainline.
