I would be happy to take the patch that Matthew and Vlastimil are happy
with, and also the one against RCU.  But unless you tell me otherwise,
I will assume that you would prefer me to wait until the entire series
is ready.  The best way to tell me otherwise is of course to resend just
those two patches in their own series.  ;-)
