Just lots of little stuff here. Mainly a resync with various people.

Note: there is a change to the console handling code in Linus's tree which
means that if you have both VT console and serial console enabled in kernel
config, the serial console now wins. Nothing comes out on the screen during
bootup. It used to be the case that the VT console was initialised first.

If this happens you will need to specify the console device on the boot
command line.

We appear to have at least three use-after-free bugs. One is fixed here, and
there are extra debugging goodies which may help us find the others. Please
enable memory debugging and keep an eye open.
