This patchset contains lots of ViroStuff.  I'll queue it up for some
testing and will go into wait-and-see mode.

Some patches had an explicit From: Ian Kent <ikent@...hat.com> and some
did not.  I assumed that this was intended for all patches.  So all
patches now have different From: and Signed-off-by: email addresses. 
Unclear if this was your intent ;)
