+For the patch directory we follow this naming scheme:
+
+ {ARCH|all|any}/{local|branch|cvs|submitted}-"Description"
+
+Branch means commited in the upstream branch.
+CVS means committed in the upstream trunk.
+Submitted means we're hopeful that it will go in.
+Local means that it's not going upstream.
+
+The goal is to get all patches to "Branch". Patches should be split by
+arch so that it's easy to send just the relevant bits to various
+arch maintainers if needed.
+
+The difference between 'all' and 'any' is that the latter touches several
+architecture dependent files, whereas the former only modifies
+architecture independent files.
