Ah, looks like I hit "reply" instead of "reply all" earlier when I said:

We can pull it in as a non-stable branch that we can rebase if you
send us replacement branches, and then move it to a "stable" version
around rc2/3. I think that's probably easier than doing it all the way
"up" through linux-next for other subarch maintainers.

So, yeah, whatever will be easier for everyone.
