Nothing goes wrong if an identical patch is queued in both places,
right? Or, if you prefer not to duplicate it, could one of you commit
it and the other one pull it? Ingo, given that this is patch 1 in the
series and unlikely to change, if you want to make this whole thing
have a separate branch in -tip, this could live there for starters.
(But, if you do so, please make sure you base off a very new copy of
Linus' tree -- the series is heavily dependent on the thread_info
change he applied a few days ago.)
