I completely agree on this.  I think you're making a huge amount of
progress and spending alot of time incorporating alot of comments from
alot of people.

My main priority is to get as many of the improvements that we've had at
in our git tree, so as to be able to switch to the mainline code as
quickly as possible.  If I keep bringing up the same things it is
because they are barriers to that happening.  I very much want to put a
big ACK on everything, but I'm uncomfortable doing that until I can at
least boot it, and that hasn't happened yet.

One of the key things that many people take a long time to learn is that
negative comments about code are not a reflection of negativity towards
the person who wrote the code.
