Just an overall meta comment: could you please capitalize all the 
acronyms properly and consistently in titles, changelogs and the code 
itself:

  s/mds
   /MDS

  s/srso
   /SRSO

etc. For single patches we maintainers will routinely fix such issues, 
but for a 36-patch series it's rather tedious ...

Also, please put no periods into titles, and titles should begin with a 
verb.

Thanks,

	Ingo
