The OLPC tree is currently based on 2.6.34-rc1.  I forgot that your
stuff went in after that; pulling things forward would make sense.

Hmm, will check again.

Sorry, the only working platform I had was the OLPC 2.6.31 tree, and
there was little point in publishing that by the time it was ready to
be seen.  That said, I *did* point out the tree where the work could be
seen for anybody who was interested.

In any case, it's very much my intent to get this stuff out there and
in for the next merge window.

Thanks for the reviews, I'll get to the specific issues in a bit.
