Now that you mention that, please don't do backports.  Just submit the
actual commits.  If they don't apply properly, then a backport of the
individual commits is fine, but never mush them together.

And if the commits don't apply as-is, why not?  Do they need some other
patch applied first?  If so, shouldn't we apply that as well?

So please redo these three patches that way, thanks.
