If a few of the series are rather regression fixes that should be
merged to Linus tree sooner, please separate them and send two patch
sets instead.  I don't see Fixes tag in the patch 2, for example, so
I'm not sure whether I should pick up.

Also, your Fixes tag usage is incorrect.  It should be
  Fixes: $ID ("subject...")
while yours missing the quotes.  Some people are picky about those
formats, so let's be strict.

Could you resubmit two patch sets with those corrections?
