hm.  A couple of those patches have been futzing around in -mm for over a
year and have been nacked by Jeff and are a regular source of grumpygrams. 
I've been sitting on them in the pathetic hope that someone will one day
get down and address the bugs which they fix in an acceptable fashion,
whatever that is.

Jeff/Val seemed willing to merge the fixes as they stood. parisc-linux
merged Francois' tulip workqueue patch some time ago, and have been
running with it since without issue. This defers the tulip_select_media
work to process context, and so should be less of an issue.

Hey Kyle,

Thanks for splitting these out.  Could you do us a favor and post the
patches themselves?  I'm not the only one who doesn't use git, and it
will be a lot less confusing if we can directly ack the patches in
email instead of referring to them third-hand.  Thanks,

-VAL
