It was just pulled because I wasn't 100% sure I wanted the extra
indirection. Oh well, pulled now.

One question:

 - the arch/sh/ part of the pacth looks dubious. Why does it do that

     #define smp_store_mb(var, value) __smp_store_mb(var, value)

   despite the commit log saying it's done by asm-generic?

I haven't pushed out yet, my allmodconfig sanity-check build is still going..

Oh that's because that's what the existing code did, so
the original version of the patch left the bug in place.
I wanted to include the fix and I wrote this in the
commit message, but I forgot to include it in the code :(

Thankfully this just means that the commit log is wrong,
the code is just unchanged from 4.4, and I'll
include a fix in my tree shortly.
