So nothing of this seems really critical (e.g. fixes a regression that a
number of people are encountering). Especially the performance
optimizations do not qualify as fixes at this stage of the cycle. I will
queue them in the VT-d branch so that they go upstream in the next merge
window, unless you convince me otherwise.
