This is a consequece of our decision that Paul would handle v3.3 fixes
and push them directly to Linus, while I would take new material for v3.4,
sorry about that.

It should be a temporary problem only, though, because once v3.3 has been
released, all arm/mach-shmobile fixes will go through the arm-soc tree.
