That series is good to go, and in fact fixes a rash of crash
reports which occur on kernels since 3.10, but just started showing
up now (triggered by some interaction between consoles over terminal servers
and systemd).

I didn't bother you about it because it seemed like you were busy.
Do you need me to resend this series (and the other 6 series' plus
misc fixes)?

kept me from going. This would have been easier with a tree to pull from.
