While paul was away, I've been taking care of the tree, so currently
up to date is my git at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc.git

I've pushed a batch of stuff to the "master" branch. I haven't yet
updated the "next" branch, I'm going to let master settle a day or  
two
first just in case.

I'll update patchwork status asap.

Ben, remind me the difference between your 'master' and 'next'
branches?  Will you rebase 'master'?

Well, mostly they are the same, let's say that I'm trying to avoid
rebasing both, but if shit happens, it's better if master gets rebased
and not next though it's a bit arbitrary and Im not sure it's really
useful in practice.

Its useful to not rebase a branch you expect people to send you  
patches against and sub-maintainers are using to build tree's  
against.  It sounds like 'next' is that branch.
