Yeah, I think the bounds checking patches are reasonable for 2.6.39.
The patch to convert the BCC to little endian is probably 2.6.40
material at this point.

If you push the bounds checking patches for 2.6.39 though, then the BCC
patch will need to be respun for 2.6.40. It's not a problem, but I need
to know whether you plan to push the bounds checking fixes for 2.6.39
so that I know which one needs to be respun.

Make sense?
