Yes, ARM SoC maintainers have to make up some ground.  But compare this
to just a couple years ago where the common complaint was "why aren't
embedded SoC people contributing code to mainline", and you'll see we
have come a long way.

Well, code comes in, which is progress. But we need to figure out how
to deal with the increasingly growing flood before we drown in it.

How about we declare the remainder of this cycle and the next merge window
as being only for bug and regression fixes, and consolidation of stuff like
the IRQ controller and GPIO controller code for the next merge window?

well, now that -rc1 has been released, the remainder of this cycleis 
already only bug and regression fixes.

declaring the next merge window as the same may or may not help, depending 
on if it pushes people to do more consolodations work or just delay 
submitting the work they are doing.
