While it won't bring about the end of the universe, please try to avoid this in the future by selecting the right branch to push into in advance (that's one of the consequences of the new workflow).

Hm. I figured that there's a pretty high chance that the patches won't make it for 3.4.0, so they'd have to go into 3.4-stable, which then again means it's a lot easier to see which ones are still outstanding there. I still maintain a -next queue in parallel where patches destined for 3.5 go into. Which workflow would you prefer if not the one above?

If you have a patch, post it to the maintainers ASAP. It then becomes our problem (and a smaller problem too, since the less delays there are, the bigger the chances of making the intended release). A few days are fine of course. For mainstream patches, queuing is fine, but don't overdo it please. I enjoy pulling from you and am quite willing to pull several times per cycle.
Hi Avi, There are a few bugs in 3.4 that really should be fixed before people can be all happy and fuzzy about KVM on PowerPC. These fixes are: * fix POWER7 bare metal with PR=y * fix deadlock on HV=y book3s_64 mode in low memory cases * fix invalid MMU scope of PR=y mode on book3s_64, possibly leading to memory corruption This request and the patches are based on top of Linus's master branch. Please either send these to Linus to get them into 3.4.0 or to linux-stable if it's too late already. Alex The following changes since commit 568b44559d7ca269d367e694c74eb4436e7e3ccf: Srivatsa S.
