	My original reluctance was that I hadn't had an opportunity to
sufficiently review the patch set to think through the potential
regressions.  There might be something I haven't thought of, but I think
would only manifest in very unusual configurations.

	I'm ok with applying the series to net-next when it's available,
and backporting 1/4 for stable (and 4/4 with it, since that's the
documentation update).
