    Hi Arnd, Catalin

    For last few days I'm trying to rebase this series on current master,
    and I see significant conflicts and regressions. In fact, every time
    I rebase on next rc1, I feel like I play a roulette.

    This is not a significant problem now because it's almost for sure
    that this series will not get into 4.10, for reasons not related to
    kernel code. And I have time to deal with regressions. But in general,
    I'd like to try my patches on top of other candidates for next merge
    window. I cannot read all emails in LKML, but I can easily detect
    problems and join to the discussion at early stage if I see any problem.

    This is probably a noob question, and there are well-known branches,
    like Andrew Morton's one. But at this stage it's very important to
    have this series prepared for merge, and I'd prefer to ask about it.

    Yury.
