What does upgrade mean here?  I feel like this is the kind of patch we
reject without reading the patch because the description is too vague
and you can tell from the diff stats that it is going to be too huge to
review.

I looked at the first few lines and we are making a ball of changes.
Copyright notices, adding function parameters, renaming functions.  This
needs to be explained a lot better and probably split into multiple
patches.

Btw, the trees are closed for the next 3-4 weeks until after 4.3-rc2 is
released.

dan carpenter
