Ingo,

I sent the aforementioned patches last night using git-send-email... but 
I'm not sure they went through correctly.  I got the email at my home 
account, but not my work account, and they don't seem to be in the LKML 
archives.  Did anyone get them?  I listed all the addresses on this 
email's distro with separate --to and --cc arguments and tried to use an 
appropriate In-Reply-To Message-Id when prompted, but maybe I messed it 
up.

Also, how does the sign-off work?  Does the appropriate person (Matthew?) 
review the patches and re-submit with a sign-off field?
