Fine, then all you need to do is ack one patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/45076

I sent this 20 days ago, it's 3 lines of diff, and it fixes a break
issue that was introduced on 2.6.37-rc1. This would not have made
sense before .37 because of the memblock changes that just got in. You
should have picked this one for the .37 merge window, there was
nothing preventing that. But it's still not too late because this is
not new code, it's a fix.

But you don't need to pick this one, all you need to do is ack it.

The rest is for Greg to decide.
