Indeed, and this is more important as more work is routed towards
different trees. At this point we have 5 more or less active
architectures, and especially in selftests land it's important to
coordinate with each other.
Anup, ideally, when you say that a patch is "queued" it should only be a
short time before you're ready to send it to me - and that means putting
it in a place where linux-next picks it up. For x86 I generally compile
test and run kvm-unit-tests on one of Intel or AMD, and leave the
remaining tests for later (because they take a day or two), but in
general it's a matter of days before linux-next get the patches.
