I'll get right to the point: Can we please have this series queued up
for v3.20?

Before you even ask for this, please look at the patches and realise
that there is a complete lack of Reviewed-by tags on the code (well,
apart from trivial Kconfig changes). In addition, the series touches on
other subsystems like clocksource, irqchip, acpi and I don't see any
acks from the corresponding maintainers. So even if I wanted to merge
the series, there is no way it can be done without additional
reviews/acks. On the document (last patch), I'd like to see a statement

There's probably a bit of a process problem here - these patches are all
being posted as part of big and apparently controversial threads with
subject lines in the form "ARM / ACPI:" so people could be forgiven for
just not even reading the e-mails enough to notice changes to their
subsystems.  Is it worth posting those patches separately more directly
to the relevant maintainers?

I think it's beneficial to post the entire series as one thread, but to
change the subject line of each patch to adequately reflect the affected
subsystem.

thx,

Jason.
