Can we shoe-horn this thing into 3.4 (it is a bit late, i know) so
that platform ports can gather speed? Several people are waiting for a
somewhat stable version before starting their ports.

And what is the path into mainline - will Russell carry it or Arnd
(with Russell's blessing)?

I would suggest putting it into a late/* branch of arm-soc so it finally
gets some linux-next exposure, and then sending it in the second week of the
merge window.

Russell, please let me know if you want to carry it instead or if you
have found any last-minute show stoppers in the code.

FWIW, it's in arm-soc now, and it's the last thing I  put in there
for v3.4. From now on until v3.4-rc1, feature patches can only get
removed from arm-soc, not added.
