Andi, the patches work against Andrew's tree, and he's merged them in
rc4-mm2.  There are a few warnings to clean up, but it seems basically
sound.

At this point I our think time is better spent on beating those patches
up, rather than going back and figuring out why they don't work in your
tree.

Sorry,
Rusty.
