Ok, great. Since these re-renames look complex enough, mind re-sending the series 
with these changes incorporated and the 4/3 patch incorporated as well (and the 
image shrinking script left out)?

The base patches are looking good here so I plan sending these to Linus 
tomorrow-ish. (The renames don't affect functionality so they don't need
as much testing.)

Thanks,
