Or we can just make a note of this, and mention it in our pull requests
to Linus.

We could make a single branch where we merged the two branches, fix it
up (as I believe Stephen did it correctly) and tell Linus "here's the
fix up".

This is a common occurrence and Linus has no problems with this. As
long as he's given a heads up.
