Hi Russell

The problem from our side is the apparent lack of progress. We get so
very few patches we wounder why we should keep it around. If there was
even a steady trick of patches, we would feel better about keeping it.

So looking at this list, could you maybe post the following, if they
don't have dependencies. Going from only the subject, most look simple
and should not be too much effort to get mainlined.
