Thanks for persisting.  Sorry for the delay.

I've noted a couple of little issues with one patch.  Hopefully Jon can
simply fix those up rather than requiring a resubmission of the whole
series.

To be honest, I haven't examined patch 4 in as much detail as I'd like,
and it required the biggest change since last time.  But I think it is
good enough.  It might even be excellent.
