Honestly I probably would have squashed some of them into that first
patch myself if you hadn't already applied it to your testing branch, so
that's all just luck.

Keep in mind that I also have that patch for mqueue that isn't in this
series, and I haven't yet checked to see if the 4.7 merges introduce
anything which is going to require updating these patches. I was
planning to wait and send out updates after -rc1, but if you want that
stuff sooner just let me know.

Thanks,
Seth
