Yes sorry about that, modules-testing is what had Aaron's code. And
Aaron noted that from his series 13/14 and 14/14 from his series
had their Message-Id modified accidently via git-send-email. Given
*current events* and since I use b4 am to verify KSIM signatures
I asked Aaron to wait and post a v12 to aggregate further reviews
and acked-by's. The reason being that if his v11 series has issues
I rather start from a very clean patchset.

Yes I am paranoid :)

Anyway so Aaron, let's give it a few more days, and please then post a
v12 collecing all new tags, then I'll apply your changes and then try to
apply Christophe's.

There was some work by Michal Such?nek which would go after, but
its unclear if that's yet vetted by their other respective maintainers.
Michal?

Anyway, your stuff is at the end of the train after Michal's if that
stuff is really ready. So please don't be surprised if you later have
to rebase once again, or two or 3 times more. Thanks for your patience.

I know this has been quite a bit of churn, but given Aaron's series I
really hope we're goint to be in a better place for maintenance for
modules long term.

I guess I gotta go automate tests to these things somehow too.
