Thank you!  I have queued both for further testing and review.  I had
to rebase them to the -rcu tree's "dev" branch.  There was one trivial
conflict, but could you please check the resulting commits, both for
my wordsmithing and to make sure that your changes still work in your
environment?  (I do not have access to that sort of hardware.)

In the future, could you please send your patches against the -rcu
tree's "dev" branch?

							Thanx, Paul
