Basing stuff on the devel branch really doesn't work, especially as I'm
still getting a trickle of acks and tested-by's for the clksrc stuff.
Of course, I could chose not to publish such stuff in my devel branch,
thereby preventing it appearing in linux-next until the last moment
before the merge window.  Or I could just not ask for acks etc...

Is it possible to split this stuff up into two topic branches - one set
which doesn't depend on my GIC and SMP changes, and then we'll see what
can be done about the remainder?

What I'm thinking is maybe if I merge the GIC and SMP changes together,
and provide you with that as a basis for your dependents?

First, I need to make absolutely sure that the GIC and SMP changes are
100% ready and up to date with acks etc.  I think there may be patches
at the top of the SMP branch which haven't been posted to the list yet
(or they have but have no acks.)
