Other things that come to my mind:
 - move handling of nowayout into the core
 - some drivers use a reboot notifier. Not sure what they are intended
   to do there. For i.MX2x it triggers a reboot; for gpio-wdt it tries
   to stop the watchdog.

Of course this doesn't mean this should addressed here. I like the
series in general.

Best regards
Uwe
