Benjamin, Thomas,

This patch set has been around for two months now, and I would really
like to see it merged. Your ACKs are the only ones missing to merge the
whole thing.

Would you mind having a look at:

 * Patches 4, 5, 6, 7 for Benjamin as the irqdomain maintainer.

 * Patches 8 and 9 for Thomas as the drivers/irqchip maintainer.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
