I see that a good amount of the comments I had on v2 have neither been replied
to nor addressed.

Please address them where appropriate, ideally before merging. I'll be happy to
be told I'm wrong in some of the cases too, but completely ignoring feedback
isn't cool.

However, most of them were nits, and I've had a look-through of the rest
of the patches, feel free to add:

Acked-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

on the patches in this series.
