Sorry if this looks awkward, I'm under the impression that new features 
go on for-next instead of fixes and your patch hasn't been merged on 
for-next yet. I thought it would be cleaner to have one patch to merge 
for init_resources instead of two, and simpler for people to test the 
series. I can rebase this on top of fixes if that works better for you 
or Palmer.

Nick
