Hi Ira,

Since the common code user is already gone these three patches seem
quite independent.  It seems like the right thing to do is have
individual arch maintainers cherry pick their arch patch and carry it
independently.

Is there a compelling reason to have someone pick up and carry these all
together that I'm missing?
