Sorry, I don't know what happened here because I didn't see these
comments until today.  I suspect what happened was that my Gmail
filter auto-filed them in my linux-kernel folder, which I don't read.
On my @google.com account, I have another filter that pull out things
addressed directly to me, which I *do* read.  But this thread didn't
cc that account until the tip-bot message, which *did* cc my @google
account because that's how I signed off the patches.  Sigh.

Anyway, it looks like this stuff is on its way; let me know
(bhelgaas@...gle.com) if I should do anything else.  I would address
your comments above, but since this seems to be applied and I saw a
cleanup patch from you, I assume you already took care of them.
