I've posted a version to my pending branch that incorporates the tags, fixes
the Tested-on tag, and rearranges the commit text. I plan on promoting to
ath-current early Tuesday morning PDT followed immediately by a pull request
to wireless to hopefully get into v7.3-rc7.

I'll pick up any new tags, including Reviewed-by:, that I get between now and
then.
