JA,

Would you mind sending each one of this updates to linux-kernel CC me in
separate emails ?

I should have applied Dave Jones patch before (it has been around for a
while), but now its too late.

Maybe Ingo's fix to crashes with CLONE_DETACHED threads is suitable for
-rc2.

Anyway, I'll save the ones which are not suitable for -rc1 in my pending
fixes list.

Thanks

Ok, ignore this message. Seen the patches now.
