The problem is that I do my development in a "work" branch that
includes both of your usb-linus and usb-next branches, merged together.  
Or if you want to put it another way, I do my development in a single
branch that includes -stable and -current material as well as stuff for
-next.  It seems foolish not to do this, since the -next patches will 
eventually have to merge into a kernel that includes the others -- not 
to mention that some of the -next work _depends_ on the other changes.

In particular, this patch was based on a kernel that already has commit 
feca7746d5d9 applied -- that commit is in your usb-linus branch but not 
usb-next.  That explains why you couldn't apply this patch; it touches 
some of the same code as feca7746d5d9.

How should we handle this?
