Thanks so much for doing this.

As all of the different subsystems depend on the first patch, I'll be
glad to merge them all through my driver-core tree, or apply the first
one and wait a release cycle so that the others can go through the
individual subsystem's tree, depending on what the subsystem maintainer
is comfortable with.
