I guess it's too late for v4.6 now, but I've put all three patches into
my y2038 tree so they get some exposure in linux-next and so we can start
queuing some of the patches depending on them on top for v4.7.

I can send these on as pull requests to either of you, Thomas or Al,
or I'll send them to Linus directly in the merge window if you don't
want to deal with them.
