You mostly did that, but I still think some of the commit messages can 
be improved. See 15/20.

At any rate, I think we are getting closer; and splitting this into a 
less-controversial part compared to the rest of v1 makes it more likely 
that this half can go in soon.  Many of the patches are independent, but 
it's still probably easier if this goes in through one tree (Paolo's 
misc tree, perhaps?), once you've collected reviews.
