My only worry is that if we have a fixup patch at the end of the series
then we break bisection because the omap_hsmmc driver will not work from
07/32 until the fixup patch. I think the only two options are,

      a) move patch 07/32 to the end of the series (I can do the fix on
      top then, no problems).

      b) respin the all patches from 07/32 onwards.

Adrian, how feasible is option a)?
