Hi Nicolas,

As we talked on IRC, I created a bundle file which contains three commits for powertop kernel patch. Please review.

Thanks
Yong

Those patches don't apply as is, and I prefer not venturing into merge
conflict attempts.

What I'd suggest is:

1) get the stable linaro tree from git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-2.6.35.git

2) cherry-pick the upstream patch with 'git cherry-pick -x 8d4b9d1bf'

3) fix the conflicts, then commit

4) apply and commit the other patches on top

5) test _this_ resulting tree

6) put the result somewhere for me to pull.
