best would be if you could pick the patches up (if they look good to you, and if they pass testing with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES enabled), and thus they would flow upstream once you did a merge with Andrew or Linus next time around.
we'll still keep them in -mm, just to get early feedback (and to make sure nothing is dropped on the floor), but the ultimate merging should happen via maintainers. [so that the mutex patches impact maintainer's workflow and their pending patches in the least minimal way.] If things clash with our mutex migration changes in -mm, we'll redo the affected -mm mutex patches whenever Andrew pulls a maintainer tree.
