Thanks!

I designed this patch to avoid conflicts with your changes. (Has anyone
picked up the memmove refactor for -next yet?)

Yeah, it got lucky, mainly. :)

Perfecto! :)

Yeah, I will break myself of this habit yet. Fixed.

Done in v2.

This is to keep the soft-lockup detector from yelling about this
extremely slow test. :P I put it here because it's seems the right
balance between doing in too much (inner loop) and not at all.

Sure! I've tried to flesh this out in v2.

This was a left-over note about how big it actually was while I was
tuning it for sane run-times. I've updated the comment.

I originally tried it either way, and I found the "while" even uglier. :)

I did this originally too, but I found it easier to reason by keeping
all of the bounds calculations separated like this for readability. Any
duplication will get optimized away. :)

Thanks for the review!
