I usually do base on a known -rc. But this series needed a couple of
series from kvmarm/next (mentioned in the original patch), and hence I
rebased on top of them. How do you suggest I handle this in the
future? Rebase to a known -rc on mainline, apply the required series,
and then my series on top?
