Hi,
Do we really want these two filenames as they are right now?
We have:
Documentation/IO-mapping.txt
Documentation/io-mapping.txt

So the IO-mapping.txt was there first. Keith, can't we rename your
file? For example,
Documentation/io-mapping.txt => Documentation/io-mapping.h.txt

Alternatively:
$ git mv Documentation/IO-mapping.txt Documentation/bus-virt-phys-mapping.txt

I don't care -- I didn't realize that IO-mapping.txt existed.
