Series applied, thank you.

Please audit your usage of the various reset state bits.

In most places you do the correct atomic sequence by making use of
test_and_set_bit() and test_and_clear_bit().

But in some cases you do things like:

	if (!test_bit(X) && !test_bit(Y)) {
	...
		set_bit(Y);
	}

which is racy.
