Umm...  One comment after looking at your tree: you probably want to rebase
for-3.2 on top of fixes (and presumably feed it to sfr for inclusion into
linux-next).

And for pity sake, do *not* merge from Linus every day; that's one sure
way to get yourself flamed into crisp.  Just trying to figure out
what's in your tree is a _hard_ exercise.  git cherry between Linus'
tree and e.g. #fixes in yours gives a long list of commits, most of them
_probably_ duplicates of the stuff in mainline.  What are bnx2 patches
doing in there, for example?

I've tried to figure out what's going on in there; AFAICS, your #fixes
is mainline plus

Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (1):
      um: disable CMPXCHG_DOUBLE as it breaks UML build

        I've cherry-picked those on top of the same branchpoint; see
#cleaned-fixes in um-headers.git.  AFAICS, that's the same contents as
your #fixes, with clean history.  Diff against your #fixes consists of
-       .irq_set_type = pmic_irq_type, <<<<<<< HEAD
-       .irq_bus_lock           = pmic_irq_buslock,
+       .irq_set_type           = pmic_irq_type,
+       .irq_bus_lock           = pmic_bus_lock,
in drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmic_gpio.c, which is an obvious mismerge
(AFAICS, on May 29).

IME the sane policy is to keep for-linus, pulling into it when Linus
pulls from you.  At that point it's a fast-forward and all previous
history is not cluttering the things up anymore.  for-next I rebase and
reorder at will, TBH, but generally I start it at the current tip of
for-linus.

Beyond what you've got in #for-3.2 I have a couple of commits, but that
can wait until the history is sorted out.  As it is, I 100% guarantee
that pull request on your #fixes as it is will result in pyrotechnical
effects from hell (OK, from Linus, actually, but in this case there won't
be any real difference).
