These are fine to me, but should not all go through my tree
because most changes are in other architectures.

Did you resend it? I have nothing pending currently. I rejected
also quite a few of these.

The clockevents patches are not included in this; but given the recent
trouble i'm not 100% sure they are even ready yet.

Hmm, need to recheck the x86_64 bits I think.

At least I still believe the whole concept of memoryless node is dubious.

The interface is clearly not compat clean at all

This required changes from review I think. And the previous patch is useless
without a boot protocol.
