Great!

As far as the RAID6 patch is concerned, my plan was to:
- get the ARM groundwork (this series) accepted (including the XOR
patch, which does live strictly under arch/arm);
- get the arm64 groundwork accepted (which uses the same API);
- post the RAID6 patch to LKML and cc to hpa (I have a local version
which has been slightly tweaked so it builds correctly for both arm
and arm64).

However, the RAID 6 patch does only affect arm/arm64, so perhaps it's
justified that you take it all in, only in that case, please allow me
to re-send the pull request so it contains the version that will build
on arm64 as well.

Regards,
Ard.
