The first five patches in my series should apply cleanly on mainline
kernels and make sense by themselves, the last patch is the one that
depends on this series as well as another series in the netdev tree,
so that has to go behind linux-next.

I suppose I could also merge the first five through my asm-generic tree
and send you the last one if you prefer, but then again two of the patches
are actually memory management stuff.
