Hi John,
We need to push some part of this patchset to coming release of
linux-linaro too.
And probably you are the best guy for doing this. Right?
So, this is what you need to do:
- Fetch latest Interactive governor patches from AOSP, probably 5 patches only.
- Hopefully you will rebase over 3.10-rc2 ?
- Then you can pick last 8 patches from this patchset..
Let me know it is fine or not.

Various SoCs with arm processors define their own platform hotplug related
functions. These functions can be defined as part of the core cpu hotplug
functions, this will avoid the duplication. This patchset is intended to
address this issue.
This patchset covers arm-Cortex-A9. Not having h/w, the patch is not tested.
Sanjay Singh Rawat (6):
ARM: cpuhotplug: add common hotplug related functions
ARM: imx: use the core cpu hotplug functions
ARM: RealView: use the core cpu hotplug functions
ARM: spear: use the core cpu hotplug functions
ARM: vexpress: use the core cpu hotplug functions
ARM: EXYNOS: use the core cpu hotplug functions

I'm pleased to announce that the migration of the Android git server
from Canonical to EC2 has been successfully completed. My thanks to
Milo for his significant help with this endeavour.
If you don't sign in to review.android.git.linaro.org, you can ignore
the rest of this email.
***** Please read carefully! *****
As explained previously, you will need to log in with your Launchpad
OpenID and then associated your identity with your Linaro Login OpenID
if you want to keep the same account on the server at the end of the
month when we turn off Launchpad OpenID authentication.
Here are the steps you need to take:
1. Go to https://login.linaro.org:8443/openidserver. If you are asked
to log in, please enter your EMAIL ADDRESS and your Linaro Login
password.
2. The web page should now display a URL of the format
https://login.linaro.org:8443/openidserver/users/<your email address>.
Make a note of that, please.
3. Go to http://review.android.git.linaro.org/. Sign in with your
Launchpad ID. (https://launchpad.net/~<launchpad ID>)
4. When you have signed in, click on the "Settings" link in the top
right corner of the web page.
5. Click on the Identities link on the left hand side of the web page.
6. Click on "Link Another Identity".
7. Enter the URL you noted from step 2 and click on "Link Identity".
8. If your web browser session from step 2 has expired, you will be
asked to log in again - enter the same information you entered at step
1.
9. If your web browser session has not expired, or once you have
logged in, you will see a web page with the title "OpenID
Verification". On the right hand side, click on Allow Always.
The above steps only need to be done once, and needs to be done BEFORE
THE END OF MAY! If you don't follow these steps by then, you will end
up with a new account when you next sign in on the server.
Between now and the end of May, you will need to paste your Linaro
Login OpenID URL so you may want to keep a copy of that safe
somewhere. After May, we will reconfigure the server so that *only*
Linaro Login OpenID is supported, and clicking on "Sign In" will
automatically authenticate you with that service.
If you have any problems signing in to review.android.git.linaro.org,
please send an email to its(a)linaro.org with as many details as
possible.
Thanks.

Philip

You missed "lists." in linaro-dev address.

Let me know if I have done something stupid.

These two applied to master-task-placement-v2

And this one applied to master-task-placement-v2-sysfs ...
Also, this is how I expect patches to come.. Don't rebase them
directly to master-v* branch as I can't apply them over it. I create
a single merge with all the independent branches in. So, it would
be better if you tell me if you need a separate branch for your
patches or you want me to apply them to an older one. This way
we can keep our tree clean.
All Applied now. Thanks.

This is a brief reminder that (review.)android.git.linaro.org will be
unavailable from 2pm GMT+1 today while the Infrastructure and IT teams
finish the work required to move the server from Canonical to Amazon EC2.
There will be a further email sent after the work is completed.
