Thanks.

Greg - feel free to treat 4/2 and 5/2 any way you want. They are obvious 
enough (no subtle issues) that I'll happily pull them into 2.6.31 too: 
relative to the initial refcount changes (which it looks like we'll need 
to do just to fix the regression) they are pretty safe.

But at the same time, they can equally well go into some later tree for 
the next merge window. So whatever you want to do.
