I.e. shouldn't this be:

I'll merge these 5 patches for 4.4.  That means I'll release them into 
linux-next after 4.2 is released.

Linus will be releasing 4.2 in 1-2 weeks and until then, linux-next is supposed 
to contain only 4.3 material.  Once 4.2 is released and the 4.3 merge window 
opens, linux-next is open for 4.4 material.

?

That would make a lot more sense.  But also be said as I intended
these as the simple part of the dma work I'd like to get into 4.3.

Andrew, if you think it's not 4.3 material I'd rather keep them in
my git tree for now so that I can stack additional patches I have
in progress on top.  A non-git based tree like yours is unfortunately
very bad for patches that are dependencies for others.

I think these will be OK for 4.3.  It's all quiet so far and any
problems will probably show up at compile time so they'll get fixed
promptly.
