OK, I'm back from holidays and there has only been a few minor comments so
far. I take that as either a) the work is generally OK as is and there are
no major objections or b) everyone is too busy to care ;) - I'll work with
option a) and rebase/re-spin this series. Now although the board/ patch was
too big for the list, it looks like it hit patchwork OK, so I will leave
that as is.

Wolfgang, a few quick question for you:

1) I understand that you would like each individual patch in the series to
have the in-reply-to header set to the individual parent patch and not have
the whole series in-reply-to the first (00/16) patch? (It will be a bit of
a PITA to set in-reply-to for 16 individual patches, but I will do if that
is the way you want it)

2) I will be changing the name of the series to a) drop the WIP and b)
change "[Timer]" to "Timer:" as per Mike Frysinger's comment - Does this
pose any issue to you provided the in-reply-to remains intact

3) The board/ series is a 'Big Patch' but it made it to Patchwork - Are you
happy for me to leave it as-is? As it's in patchwork, can I forget about
putting it on the Big Patches wiki?

4) I'm thinking about creating an Timer branch in my x86 repository and
pushing the whole series through there - From there I can keep it rebased
and simply issue a pull request when it's finished (and testers can just
pull it if they want). Does this sound like a good plan?

5) Most importantly - Have you had a chance to look at this series? Is it
to your liking?

Regards,

Graeme
