I've take the series through the togreg branch as we are so near the
merge windows.  Note (despite Linus not liking it :)) I use links
in my git tags so anyone really searching for Quentin can find
the discussion.

I'm usually a bit lazy on cleaning out what I would consider unnecessary
CC tags but given Andy comment on these I've dropped the extra
one.

Patches 1 and 2 marked for stable.
