aieee, this should have been applied before the mvneta patch set (as
mentioned in the covering email to that set, as well as the cover
message you quoted above) because the mvneta patch set makes these
races visible.  Well, I guess folk are going to have to put up with
bisect issues if they hit a commit between the two merges in your tree.

Well, I guess what's done is done, I did my best to avoid it being
visible.
