Firstly, to review it.  It's a lot of code so I'll be doing this after
-rc1 is released.

Meanwhile, we probably need a resend - all the patches hit my inbox
directly, but quite a lot of them failed to come through on
linux-kernel - it appears that the patches which had huuuuuge Cc lists
were suppressed.
