Looks mostly good to me.

LGTM, but I've extended the Cc: list to make more people aware.

(I did the same for some of the other patches that could use extra eyes.)

I've applied the first 13 patches to tip:x86/cpu to help move this 
along. I fixed a handful of typos, but haven't noticed any functional

for the merge window. (Famous last words.)
