Please also Cc: peterz and me to the next submission of the series - static key 
(and jump label) changes go through the locking tree normally, and there's a 
number of changes pending already for v4.3:

412758cb2670 jump label, locking/static_keys: Update docs
2bf9e0ab08c6 locking/static_keys: Provide a selftest
ed79e946732e s390/uaccess, locking/static_keys: employ static_branch_likely()
3bbfafb77a06 x86, tsc, locking/static_keys: Employ static_branch_likely()
1987c947d905 locking/static_keys: Add selftest
11276d5306b8 locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface
706249c222f6 locking/static_keys: Rework update logic
e33886b38cc8 locking/static_keys: Add static_key_{en,dis}able() helpers
7dcfd915bae5 jump_label: Add jump_entry_key() helper
a1efb01feca5 jump_label, locking/static_keys: Rename JUMP_LABEL_TYPE_* and related helpers to the static_key* pattern

Thanks,
