Normally you just ask Linus to pull your tree and let him know that there
are some conflicts and also ask him to let you know if he wants you to
fix them up before merging. He is a smart fellow, and if I worked it out,
I am sure he can as well. :-)

Some people pull Linus' tree into theirs and resolve the conflicts, but
he prefers to do them himself usually.
