    Yes, a shared git branch seems like the best solutoin, this is now
    available as a topic branch on the s390/linux:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git compat

    The branch has been merged to the features branch for v5.1.

    Thanks for the work on the compat code, good stuff!
