Hi Perry,

Which tree or patchset is this based on?
It doesn't apply cleanly onto either 6.7 or 6.8.

First I had to revert [1], then apply [2] before applying this patchset 
and finally reapply [1].
I did not apply the "prefcore" patchset which I keep in a separate branch.

Is this correct or did I mess up something with my branches?
