I only add git trees or quilt series that are hosted elsewhere i.e. I
don't carry individual patches or host trees myself.

The considerations are that all patches/commits in the tree/series must
have been:

	posted to a relevant mailing list
	reviewed
	unit tested
	destined for the next merge window (or the current release)

*before* they are included.  The linux-next tree is for integration
testing and to lower the impact of conflicts between subsystems on the
next merge window.

It would seem that it has potential.  I do understand that there is some
interaction between the PPS code and the tty code, so that would have to
be sorted out with Alan Cox (cc'd).
