Whole series,

Reviewed by: Jason Cooper <jason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


Thomas (tglx), if you're happy with the core changes, let me know and
I'll cue the series up.

We know it's a bit late in the -rc cycle, but the alternative (reverting
Rob's patch) would likely be more destabilizing at this point.

thx,

Jason.
