v7 is not an evolution on v6 - v7 contains a bunch of bugs that v6 fixed (at least
wrt locking). How did you generate this series?

Also my name is misspelled in each of the Reviewed-by: tags which makes me
think that something has gone quite wrong with the posting of v7, and I'm
concerned that this was based on e.g. v5 but with my tags against v6 applied.
