Dear Sergey Lapin,

First, while I appreciate the effort, I'd rather us sync with v3.7 release rather than the in-flux v3.8. Second, can you please look at the archives about how we've done these re-syncs before? I really don't want to take a single giant patch and we're usually able to break this up into chunks. Thanks!
current v3.8 version is not that much different from v3.7, and very few, but interesting changes there, so I hope we're not going for version numbers here.
Tom is right when asking to use a stable kernel tree version as starting point. Said "interesting changes" may be added in a second step, once we have proven that the stable code is actually working stable for us, too.
OK, will rebase.
I try to produce proper splitted version, but it is not going to be bisectable then.
I cannot see why this would have to be the case. Bisectability has to be maintained.
Well, if you mean, by bisectable, that it will compile, then yes, it can be done, but I still can't find a way to properly split patch for it to obey to reasoning behind bisect, in this case.
All the best, S.
