Other than the allocate->alloc change I've already done the equivalent for the outofstaging tree (having noted the same thing whilst cleaning that up!). The alloc change makes sense so I'll drive it it there as well at some point. Will obviously have to update the namespace move patches but that's fine. I can't do those namespace patches until staging-next gets updated anyway so can easily make them dependent on what you do.
