be sure to watch the -mm tree as well, a lot of patches are picked up by Andrew
to be fed to Linus that way

this is a particularly bad week since almost all the core developers were up at
OLS.

one thing you may want to look at doing (hosting permitting) is to setup a git
tree to just hold your trivial patches so that they can be pulled easily.

I thought there was a person who was maintaining a -trivial tree for this
purpose, I don't remember who it was though.
