Indeed, and this is more important as more work is routed towards 
different trees.  At this point we have 5 more or less active 
architectures, and especially in selftests land it's important to 
coordinate with each other.

Anup, ideally, when you say that a patch is "queued" it should only be a 
short time before you're ready to send it to me - and that means putting 
it in a place where linux-next picks it up.  For x86 I generally compile 
test and run kvm-unit-tests on one of Intel or AMD, and leave the 
remaining tests for later (because they take a day or two), but in 
general it's a matter of days before linux-next get the patches.
