This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 3.7.1 release.
There are 27 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response
to this one.  If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please
let me know.

Responses should be made by Sun Dec 16 22:16:56 UTC 2012.
Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
	kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/stable-review/patch-3.7.1-rc1.gz
and the diffstat can be found below.

Greg, would that be a problem to send these patches for review to
linux-3.7.y branch and mark them with v3.7.1-rc1 commit/tag?

Yes, it is a problem, sorry.

Is something goes wrong there is still place to fix/revert as needed.
If not do the final commit/tag that says this is v3.7.1 [1].

It would be easier to automate things by just monitoring linux-stable
remote for new tags.

Automate what?  You can just look for the patch files to show up on
kernel.org if you wish to automate testing.

Otherwise, sorry, but creating a git tree of these patches, for the -rc
kernels, doesn't work with the current work flow.  I have to have the
ability to remove and add patches and change patches in the middle of
the series of patches before the final kernel release for a variety of
reasons, all of which have come up over the years of doing these stable
kernel releases.

In other words, I don't ever want to rebase.
