This tree doesnt conflict (not even with kmecheck) - and the older
bits you sent against the scheduler and against x86 doesnt apply
anymore - but they do look scary.

How about this: i can send the scheduler and x86 bits to Linus right
now, that should make it possible to have a clean base for you and
no interactions with anything pending?
