=== Highlights ===

* Reworked the Android ashmem code so it uses my fadvise volatile work

* Handled a few issues for Andrey w/ the linaro-android-3.4 tree.

* Synced up with gregkh and tglx, then sent the Android Alarm timer 
mending patches to staging for 3.5, and got them merged.

* Converted Android Alarm driver to using wakeup sources instead of 
wakelocks, sent out an RFC to lkml and the Android team

* Spent more time looking at Rafael's userland wakelock api.

* Worked on reported RTC regression. Looks to be a hardware quirk, but 
still waiting on feedback from the owner.

* Dug in a bit on a community clocksource watchdog issue. Still no 
solution yet.

* Gave Deepak feedback on upstream tracking ideas.

* Did bi-weekly Android upstreaming subteam email


=== Plans ===
* Haven't gotten much feedback recently, so I'm planning to submit 
volatile range code for inclusion. This likely will get detractors to 
come out of the woodwork.  But hey, maybe I'll get lucky and it will 
just go in?

* See if Rafael's userland wakelock api can be readied for 3.5


=== Issues ===
* NA.
