As I said, I was just trying to figure out what you were suggesting.
Your email was not very clear in my opinion.

Which gets us back to what I originally suggested in my first email of
this thread: linux-next carries the fixup patch and when we send the
pull requests to Linus we mention this fixup/thread.

For what it's worth, if you mention the potential merge conflict, and
the fixup that Stephen provided, it shouldn't matter when the pull
requests are sent to Linus; he's a smart guy, he'll merge things in
the order he wants. I've seen more than a few people get burned by
deferring pull requests, I don't intend to have SELinux, or audit for
that matter, run into the same problem.
