Actually these changes have been in the Googles emulator kernel repo for
a long time and they fix issues found during Android testing :
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/goldfish.git

So there should not be any regression with them.

This is nice, thanks for these.

How well does these patches "work" with the recent goldfish
images/kernels that are out there?  I know the goldfish platform has
been revamped a lot recently, and I would not like to see these changes
cause things to break there :)

Also, any chance to get some google reviewers for these changes?  I
don't think you added any to the cc: list, how come?

thanks,
