Do we need two branches in linux-next?  I think we should just push
all of this to Tegra's for-next branch, and keep a for-linus branch
that points to the last change that will build without merging with
linux-next.  There shouldn't be any conflicts with linux-next, and
there is no need for linux-next to build after merging some of its
branches.
