Ok, I would propose a bit different approach. I created two new branches
in my tree:

fixes - for current kernel
devel - for next kernel

To avoid too many merges, I would like that you pull from these branches
only when you compose the changeset for Linus (fixes) or for your next 
kernel (master branch - pull from fixes+devel). In case of problems or 
comments, I will fix them with new patch (so, in these trees, my patches 
will have stable SHA keys).

Do you think that it will work for you?
