I'm also fine with deleting mach-dove, but that would be much more disruptive to Russell's work, so I don't think that helps anyone.
I've rebased the series to leave out the last two patches for dove, and added the watchdog on dove, so I can at least get the other patches out of my queue if that works for now.
