I've rebased to current-ish Linus, updated to commit f45c4246ab18 at
the above URL.  It all seems to work well enough, so I'm not relying on
any later commits.  I can rebase it onto -rc1 when it is tagged, or
you can pull it now if you'd rather.  It's missing the R-b/A-b tags
from Josef & Ryusuke Konishi.
