I'll be messy, but the majority of that fix series will need to go
in during rcX..

The last patch (refactoring one) will need to wait until those are
upstream and have worked there way around to be in my togreg branch
(I usually rebase that tree only after pull requests, but given this
 is going on I may do an earlier pull request than normal.)

That refactoring patch will probably need to cover the new driver.
I can do that as a fixup whilst applying it though once we get that far.
