At least I'm consistent? Hmm. Jim, can you base your next version on v5 of
Yosry's series? I think when I apply, I'll splice in this series between patches
20 and 21. I could resolve the conflicts when applying, but since I'll probably
tag these for stable@ as well, I'd rather apply patches that are closer to what
was posted.
