applied them to tip/x86/core, for v2.6.27 merging, thanks everyone.

I've added Linus's Acked-by. Vitaly, could you please send your 
Signed-off-by line, it was missing from the patches. You can check the 
current form of the commits via:

 git-pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git x86/core

(the patches changed slightly, there was some merge fallout due to other 
changes in this area.)
