If Jeff is worried about these patches destabilizing UML you can held them out

there are a few real bug fixes for error paths and IMHO they are safe enough 
to merge.

It's just git HEAD, but earlier little patches cause that conflict. 
I am sure that the obvious fixup is correct.

I just gave a look to that hunk in the addition log and it looks ok.
