Unless it is my mailer that is playing up, it looks as though you have
sent this set un-threaded, which means that when others or myself
start replying to them one-by-one, they will be sprawled throughout my
inbox.  It also seems as though there is no 0th (cover letter) patch,
which means I am lacking potentially important information regarding
the history of the set and what you are trying to achieve.

Anyway, the patch has been applied this time (hopefully there aren't
any inter-dependencies.
