As we all functionality wise my concern is that we are holding off on
applying Roger's series, which is AIUI ready to go, to staging until 4.6 is
released, despite staging being open for business because of how invasive
it is and the impact therefore on any backports we might need to do for
4.6.

Given that it seems unfair to take other series to the same area which came
afterwards if they are going to cause huge conflicts for Roger.

That said, I've looked at your #1 and #2 vs Roger's series and the conflict
would appear to be a trivial context one (of the sort I would routinely
fixup during commit any way). So I've applied those two.

I had a comment on #3. I'm afraid I didn't get to #4 or #5 yet.
