[Gta04-owner] Kernel upstreaming

Hi all,

Is there a nice way to see what is still needed in the area of kernel 
upstreaming?

"git cherry -v v3.13-rc7 goldelico/3.13-rc7" outputs a list of 413 
commits - ouch! - but I guess that some (many?) of these are already now 
upstream in slightly different forms.  So it's difficult to see how much 
real work is remaining.

(I tried rebasing a copy of goldelico/3.13-rc7 onto v3.13-rc7 and 
investigating and resolving the conflicts, but stopped after about 150 
commits where I realized that there were still 250 to go :-).)

I ask because I'm starting to do some kernel contributions for my 
$dayjob, so it would be synergistic for me to try to help with GTA04 
upstreaming too - if there is something not too hard that I can help 
with.

Regards,
      Neil
