It's already gone through Russell's tree.

I realised that a mach-types patch couldn't go into arm-soc as that
doesn't have the removed machine entries, and the only other changes in
linux-next for the sheevaplug and ts209 files were from Russell's tree
anyway. And finally, I thought that Russel's mach-types generation
script would want to see the fixed files in his tree, otherwise it would
want to delete the machine entries.
