Hi Chris,

Those patches (except the last two) have been sent to the mailing list
before, and they fix real bugs (but not critical bugs). Please consider
queue them for 2.6.38.

Thanks, I've got these along with more from Josef and some others from
the list.  They have been running all weekend with good results, so I'll
send out the pull request on Monday.
