Yeah, unfortunately, because people are always modifying the kernel's
"magic" sections, a version of the patch that applies to master will
basically always conflict with something in linux-next (at least, this has
been my experience updating it during the 2.6.29 release cycle). As Rusty
Russell said last month about this patch, there's no good time for this
kind of change.
"Just before -rc1" is pretty much the only time to do this kind of
changes. It's not the first time we have had this issue.
