There is zero way I'm applying 9 patches this late in the RC
series.
If you want this stuff to go into net-2.6 and get backported
to -stable, pick a very small (2 or 3) set of the most important
fixes.
Consistent -EIO error code returns and junk like that are
not appropriate this late in the RC, and definitely not -stable
material.
