I ask because it seems a bit odd to have a separate subtrees for bnx2x (which doesn't appear to exist in either tree yet) and i40e, while other pmd's all ostensibly still go through your tree. I presume that Stephen and Helin will send you merge requests prior to -rc releases, and that for changes that affect pmd's tree-wide, we can circumvent the subtree with Stephen/Helin's signoff?
