In an ideal world the subsystem trees would take such changes.

In the real world it's more reliable for me to take them all, make sure
the relevant maintainers are cc'ed.  If they ack the patch then great. 
If they merge the patch then I'll drop the mm.git duplicate.  If they
say nothing and it has decent linux-next exposure then ho hum, in it
goes.
