Thanks for your kindly reply.

I will merge Dmitry's merge commit that you inform to me in my tree.
Then, conflict may be not happened tomorrow. :-)

Cc'ed Russell...

I wonder...as you know, my tree will going to upstream through Russell's
tree...if his tree doesn't having it, is it no problem when he merges my
tree?
I mean, is it no problem that there are Dmitry's stuff which has been merged
into Linus' in my tree when I'm sending 'pull request' to Russell?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Kgene.
