I'm not sure yet.  Except for the hisi04 patch, this is all generic 
stuff.  That could go upstream either via your tree or arm-soc I 
suppose.

Of course if new MCPM-using platforms are to be merged this cycle, 
they should be using the new interface. But that's already in mainline 
so that doesn't depend on this series.

What do you think?
