Ugh.

So, we need more testers, so let me release a -rc kernel with just these
changes in it, to get a wider testing range, and make an easy "this
kernel worked, but this one didn't" for people to work with.

I don't suppose that 'git bisect' would work for this, as it's really a
"all or nothing" type thing with this series from what I can tell,
right?

thanks,
