That should work.

Still, I am a bit frustrated. During this weekend I reported 2 regressions
(wlan and ata) and I still try to find out why suspend/resume stopped
working. In the meantime I have identified 2 patches (one was already known,
I reported the 2nd to the usb maintainers) after 2.6.28 that caused suspend
to ram regressions. In rc1 S2R was broken again. So I tried bisecting the
third patch - which finally brought me to the btrfs bisect problem.

For me, this was the most annoying merge window ever.

In my opinion we should really avoid subtree merges in the future as a curtesy
to people who do the uncool work of testing, problem tracking and bisecting.
