I was waiting to see what Arnd did, since Paul said:

	This looks good at the moment, however, the sparse changes that Arnd
	Bergmann is working on will invalidate a couple of the changes below.
	Of course, better a future problem than a here-and-now problem, but
	is there an easy way to fix both?

My message and Paul's reply are attached for Arnd's convenience.  Maybe Arnd
could include my changes, or supply me with his patch?

David
