My response for any other subsystem would be that you need to go through the maintainer's tree. In this case that means feeding a patch series to Andrew and updating that patch series. Alternatively, you need to find someone (with Andrew's agreement) who can maintain a git tree that includes all Andrew's MM patches and any other topic branches and deals with all the conflicts and can feed it all to Linus. Linux-next would also include that tree/branch. Andrew, do you have any comments? -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
