for-next?  But don't we need all this (or at least the first four of
your five, on top of the four Linus took from me) in -stable now?

I was wondering if we should ask Chris to do a 2.6.29.1-rc2 with
them; but perhaps you'd much rather expose them in -next for a
while, before sending Linus and 2.6.29.2.
