I haven't look closely at those final patches either, but I think I 
agree with Peter.

It's certainly okay if Andreas picks up these patches, since there's no 
formal MAINTAINER for the memory API.

However, I'd prefer to first apply the patch to fix exec.c in order to 
keep bisection as clean as possible.

Thanks!
