What I've done for now in the dev branch was to drop patches 12
through 19 of this patch series.  That seemed to be a good break
point, and I wanted to make sure we had something working so we can
start doing a lot more intesive testing on the patches so far.

Also, that way, when you resend the last 8 patches in the patch
series, we can make sure they get a proper review as opposed to making
changes on the fly.

The current contents of the dev branch are:
