That's not great and is kind of missing the point of -next - the core
idea is to find these inter-tree dependencies, ensure things work when
they're merged together and avoid things like massive bisection breaks.
Leaving things also causes problems for anyone trying to do integration
testing on -next.
What would be better would be if we could get the two trees synced up,
in this case something like picking the audit change up in the ARMv8
tree (or vice versa) seems like it'd be quick and easy since it looks
like neither tree uses topic branches.
It's not ideal indeed but applying this patch on my tree would break it.
So we need a common base where the audit API is changed, guaranteed not
to be rebased so that I can merge it in the arm64 for-next/core branch.
Do you know which tree commit 3efe33f5d2 is in? I assume some tip
branch?
