Hi Ingo,
  I was waiting to merge the tool patch until I was sure this would be
your blessed v15 of the ABI.  If you are comfy with the kernel patch but
want the tool updated before the kernel, I can do that, no problem.  The
only thing that I ask is that if for some reason this kernel patch
doesn't make it in, please require any future patches that change this
ABI to be versioned > 15 ;)

Thanks!
-Greg
