Hi Linus !
Hopefully this one won't be busted... I'll hand back the hat
to paulus for the rest of 2.6.27, but before that, here's a last
pull request.
It brings the powerpc variant of the lockless get_user_pages_fast()
which took some time because I took it out of -mm and had to adjust a

Hi Timur,
So my conclusion is that specifying an I2C node in the device tree *requires*
