Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the tip tree got a conflict in: arch/ia64/include/asm/cpu.h arch/ia64/kernel/topology.c between commit: cf8e8658100d ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture") from the asm-generic tree and commit: c4dd854f740c ("cpu-hotplug: Provide prototypes for arch CPU registration") from the tip tree. I fixed it up (I deleted the files) and can carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
