How many of these are applicable to 4.9-rc3? I took a quick look at
them, and some of them look like they should go into the 4.10 branch
instead. We're after the merge window, so only strict fixes. Cleanups
and no features, no go.

3312845 might need to be in 4.9.  Not sure, kent asked me to pick it up in 
my next pull request.  4.10 is fine for the rest.

Kent, Davidlohr, does 3312845 need to land in 4.9 for some reason?

No, that can wait until 4.10.
