So, as discussed, I'm doing this, and it's in -next now. And as a
result, we're getting warnings and such that I am fixing one by one.
Progress, good.

But it occurs to me that most of these bugs are not in
architecture-specific code like the x86 p4_event_bind one from last
week. That means I'll be submitting these as *fixes* during 6.1, since
they're broken on some architecture already, rather than waiting to
submit them to you via my unsigned-char tree in 6.2.

Just FYI.
