Thanks! By the time you're done, I am hopefully in deep sleep (stupid 
time-zones!) dreaming of better kernels. So I won't be able to send a new 
pull request until tomorrow morning. All the patches are in 'for-linus' 
and 'topic/slab/earlyboot' branches and so -tip ones (that are not rebased 
on top of this series) in 'topic/slab/earlyboot-topic' in case you're 
interested.
