Status of arch/arm in linux-next

[Alexey Zaytsev]

Dear, Lunus.

Could you please just apologize for the pointless diffstat complain,

Dear Russel.

Please don't take the offense. Linus might be a dickhead at times, and
sometimes he's wrong, but I'm sure he did not mean to hurt you.

(And who the fuck is this guy? No one.)
