I'm pretty happy with the state of this patch series.  I'm going to do 
thorough testing of each patch but if all goes well, I'd like to apply 
them.  I think there's room to improve things but I think it's good 
enough now to take into the tree.

Please take a look through these patches and speak up if you think 
someone needs to be changed before applying them.  I'll wait at least 
until the middle of next week before applying them to give everyone time 
to look closely.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
