Russell, do you mind if I carry in my tree the 3 ARM patches I sent?
They're mostly pretty trivial, and they've been in "Incoming"[1] for 2
weeks but haven't shown up in -next yet. I'd really like them to get
some soak time, and for them to reach the v6.9 merge window in time.

Please let me know what you think. :) Thanks!
