I thought you might say that, I'll re-send with just the ones that fix the 
major issues, instead of ones that fix issues people wanted fixed. Most of 
the real bits were in Rawhide kernels for a few weeks, which tbh kicks the 
ass outta a linux-next/linux-mm test cycle.

Your reply now serves as place to point people at when they ask why Red 
Hat/Fedora ships features that they can't get for 1-6 months, and I'm fine 
with that.

Dave.
