Thanks for your continued persistence here Christopher!  It is looking
pretty good.

I've queued these up for testing, and if that goes well, and don't hit
anything else in review, I'll likely try to submit all but the last
patch (unless there's an acked-by from the maintainer of that code)
through Thomas for 4.6.

(I've already added the function comment fix from Richard)

thanks
