As we have seen, there's risk involved with merging apparently tested
fixes, and it can result in major build breakage.

Today is the last linux-next fetch before the potential opening of the
merge window on Sunday.  I'd prefer not to merge anything in the next
four days, but instead let things settle ready for that.

Most of last night's builds for my autobuilder failed due to this
problem (I didn't have a chance to regenerate that tree after kernelci
reported the problem), so I'm going to have to wait until tonight's
builds to see how things are - and that's starting to leave precious
little available time before the merge window.  I don't run the
builder during the day as it eats around six hours of time.

So, in short, my tree is now closed in expectation of 4.14 on Sunday.

However, if you want me to remove "8705/1: early_printk: use printascii()
rather than printch()" I can do that, but only if you tell me before
4pm UTC today.

If we get 4.14-rc8 instead, I'll re-open for a few days for this.
