I've stated in the past that my 'devel' branch is a convenience thing;
it saves me having to regularly - nightly - email SFR to say "you need
branches A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J and K".

As such, it's regularly regenerated from a series of topic branches,
and so at least the top commit is not stable.

What I will object to are trees based on linux-next or my devel branch.
If you have a dependence on something in my tree, please talk to me and
I can shift it over to the 'devel-stable' branch (which as the name says,
means that it *is* stable and thus can be used as a basis for trees.)

I'm presently basing my topic branches off of Linus' commit 3971047.
You can use that, or one of the -rc releases, or Linus' current tip.
I don't mind which.
