Applied.

I also committed the pipe_occupancy() fix for 32-bit, but did so
without testing - it was ObviouslyCorrect(tm), but considering that
everybody missed it in the original patch, "obvious" is all relative.

And it turns out my worry about pipe_discard_from() was unnecessary.
Yes, the code is buggy. But no, it doesn't matter. Why? There are no
callers of that function ;)

That said, I still hope people will take a look at the code and see if
there's anything else I missed.

Oh, and testing. Testing would be good.
