The first three of your patches could go in, but the last two require a
new herd7 release (for the lkmmv2 flag). Left to myself, I would hold
all five until we get a new herd7 release, but if it is important to
get the first three into the current merge window, please rebase them
to mainline some time this week. I would then send a pull request for
the for next week, the second and final week of the merge window.

Over to you!
