Great! I just pushed this to for-next. I'll let it sit there for over
the weekend, and if there's no more issues, I'll push this off to Linus.

Hopefully this will be the last of the changes needed for 3.11 :-)

I'll then need to look at all the changes made and put together a set of
changes to send to stable. I didn't mark any of these with stable as
there's lots of dependencies I need to figure out and some of these
fixes need to go back quite a ways.

Thanks for all your help (you and Masami :-)
