Ah, ok.  I'll rebase this series on the staging tree.

Of course, not sure what happened there (well, other than the obvious
:-P)

Ok, I'll pull that out as a separate branch.  Do you mind taking a
series that depends on a topic branch from another tree?  We do it a lot
in arm-soc, but I'm not sure how popular that is elsewhere.

It's purely an audit/testing dependency, but it would be nice to have it
available in the history if someone wants to audit the changes.

I have one change I'd like to do to the objdiff script.  I'd like it to
assume 'HEAD^ HEAD' when the user executes './scripts/objdiff diff'.

I'll respin both and submit a v1.

Thanks for the review.

thx,

Jason.
