Ugh. Let me revert the branch to pull this from to what it was a week ago.
That way Jeremy's tree should not have any trouble.

That is my fault. I thought the merge window was this _week_ so I happily
pushed the trigger button.
Since I seem to have a knack for making mistakes, let me get some clarification
so that I won't do it again.
When is it Ok for me to put in the #linux-next, new stable features (so
reviewed, acked, etc)? a) Is it post rc7? b) Or is it when Linus releases
the kernel and Linus's merge window opens?
I was thinking it is a), b/c if it would be b), then there is just two weeks
to fix any fallout that might happen due to merging of vast new features.
