The tree I carry for KSPP carries various things. Presently, gcc
plugin and hardened usercopy changes go via that tree:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/refs/heads
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/log/?h=for-next/gcc-plugins
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/log/?h=for-next/usercopy

This depends on where stuff a change is landing. For example,
arch-specific things (like KASLR improvements) go via the
per-architecture trees. Smaller system-wide things go via Andrew
Morton's "mmotm" tree. Larger system-wide things, or things without an
obvious maintainer, go via my trees.

Since it's small, I think it should likely go via akpm's tree.
However, I tend to carry stuff in a separate kspp tree on kernel.org
just so it can get some build and run testing by the 0day bots.
