Hi Dan,

I've applied the all 6 patches of this set. 
(HEAD 8874e812feb4926f4a51a82c4fca75c7daa05fc5 , Linus' tree)

I've tested it on the same setup and everything runs fine, and I've 
seen no suspicious messages.

If you'd like, I can test only patch #2 in isolation.

Tested-by: Eldad Zack <eldad@...refinery.com>

Best regards,
Eldad
