How should I address your reviews now that you've applied these
patches? Would you prefer me to send new patches on top of -mm?

Also Tejun has patches that conflict with mine. But I believe
-mm is on top of -next, so perhaps I should rebase those patches
when his branch reach -next? Or something else?
