Why can we not just take what is in mainline? And if not, then you need to document the heck out of this in the changelog text, and get all of the related maintainers in the area to sign off on this. Diverging from Linus's tree creates a big burden over time, you have to make this really really obvious why you are doing this, and what you are doing here so that everyone agrees with it. Remember, 90% of all of these types of "do it differently than Linus's tree" are buggy and cause problems, be very careful. Please fix up and resend. thanks, greg k-h
