Srivatsa, you're sending a huge patch set to a very long cc list of
people, but you're leading the description with text that most of us
have already read a bunch of times.  Why?

What changed in this patch from the last round?  Where would you like
reviewers to concentrate their time amongst the thousand lines of code?
 What barriers do _you_ see as remaining before this gets merged?
