    As far as forwarding to Linus, not sure about that yet - I suspect
    these patches may cause akpm some reject grief since they're fairly
    wide-spread over the kernel. If akpm prefers the small patches
    instead of one large one, it may make sense for it to go via akpm.

    I don't have a preference myself - it's whatever's easiest for others.

    Obviously, there's still more to come when I get a round tuit, but
    this should provide sufficient infrastructure to allow folk to
    move over the remaining areas if I don't get there first. ISTR
    SCSI requires a bit of work.
