Please, in the future, give me an introductory "[PATCH 0/6 ..." posting,
for two reasons:

1) So that you can give me a top-level description of the changes that
   are happening.

2) To provide me with a single email I can reply to when I decide that
   the entire series is OK.

I applied this entire series, thanks.

Thanks.
