I'd prefer Marc takes it post rc1. The reason being chances of merge conflicts
between ARC and tip trees increase with ARC tree changing drivers/irqchip/*. We've
seen two of those already which Stephen fixed up in linux-next. Although
admittedly the conflicts are trivial and given the location of this diff hunk it
might not happen at all....
