Yeah!  Thanks for following through on this, it will help me out a lot
in testing stable kernels.

Oh, one very minor comment on the patches, you should delete the address
of the FSF from your file headers, unless you want to track the office
movements of them for the next 40+ years.  We've been removing them from
kernel code where we notice them, as half of them are wrong, and I don't
want to have to go back and fix them again when they move again.

thanks,
