This is a first draft at a process for getting things integrated into
the Linaro Stable Kernel releases. Any feedback is appreciated,
hopefully this is all fairly boring and uncontroversial so there
shouldn't be too many surprises.

The first thing to say here is that all LSK releases will be based off
the latest generic Linux stable kernel so the best way to get a change
into a Linaro release is to get it into the generic Linux stable kernel
using the standard processes. This will maximise the number of people
who can use the change and is just generally good practice.

is that documented anywhere, why we (Linaro) are doing LSK at all? especially, i am interested to understand who is actually going to be a downstream of LSK? e.g. who is going to benefits from that work. I am not saying it's wrong to do it, just want to understand why we do it.

i tend to agree with some of the arguments from Andy (not all ;-) and I definitely see and understand the value of the LLCT as it provides a 'baseline' for LTs to 'move' forward, but LSK is not about moving toward upstream.
