Grr. I hate it when people do this. Your merge message sucks. It just
says "Merge branch .." without explaining what the merge does and
*why* it does it.
We have a policy of good commit messages in the kernel. That is
*doubly* true for cross-subsystem merges that can be so much harder to
understand, and really need very explicit reasons for existing in the
first place.
I've pulled this, but please avoid doing things like this in the future..
