Lokesh,

Thanks for having respun this quickly.

I've applied the first 13 patches to irqchip-next (after tidying up some
of the commit messages). I've left the last patch for armsoc to take,
unless you guys insist on me taking it.

If nothing horrible appears in -next tomorrow, I'll send the 5.2 PR with
this series.

Hopefully we won't see more of this madness any time soon... :-/

Thanks,

	M.
