Looks good to me, with the added note on the utimes cruft too as a
further cleanup (separate patch).

So you can add my acked-by.

I _would_ like the md parts to get a few more acks. I see the one from
Song Liu, anybody else in md land willing to go through those patches?
They were the bulk of it, and the least obvious to me because I don't
know that code at all?
