Given that it seems like there won't be a linux-next from September 28
until close to the next merge window, it would be good to get this into
linux-next before that so that the series can receive broader testing. I
have some patches that could use this, but I'm hesitant to base them on
these patches because I want at least part of them to go into 3.13.
