The downside is that at least some of these were already pending in
maintainers trees for 2.6.26 (among other changes) and so have now caused
(unnecessary) merge conflicts.  Is there some reason that these fixes
can't go through the subsystem trees (especially once we get past rc1 (or
2) and people are gearing up for the next merge window)?
