Thanks for rebasing all of this, and resending it.  It's late in the
3.11 development cycle, so I'm going to wait unto 3.11-rc1 is out to
queue it up for 3.12, to get it lots of testing in linux-next.  So don't
worry, they aren't lost, just waiting a few more weeks before I can
apply them.

thanks,
