* Viresh has created the V8 branch with following changes:
    - Based on v3.6-rc5
    - applied Sudeeps's "sched: fix arch_get_fast_and_slow_cpus to get
logical cpumask correctly" patch over task-placement-v1 branch
    - new branch from Paulm: rcu-hotplug-v1

* new Patchset from Morten by middle of week
* new perf framework supporting multiple Performance Monitoring Units
work in a patchset
* working on the ability to boot from A7
