Andy, put a cover letter on these larger series - if nothing else it gives
somewhere convenient for people to give tags for the whole series, or 
maintainer to say what they are doing with it.

Anyhow, I'm fine with the series, but will leave it on list for a while
longer, particularly to get patch 6 some eyes + testing.

Currently I plan to drop the fixes tag from this first patch, but I'm prepared
to be convinced it's a bug fix rather than a consistency cleanup.
