Very general comment, across your whole series...
Although it is not strictly required any more, most kernel
code still stays within about 80 columns width, where longer
lines are the exception. Your patches go beyond 80 columns
a lot, and it's just not what I'm accustomed to looking at.
Others might disagree with this, but it would be my preference
that you try to reformat your lines so they normally fit within
80 columns. Format strings for printk-like functions are an
exception--people prefer those to be kept intact. But even
there, look at long messages and consider whether they can
be made more concise.
