We don't have changelogs for these patches. Apart from the usual what-it-does and how-it-does it I'd really like to be reminded of the "why". Adding a bunch of stuff to the core kernel codepaths needs to have a good reason and I've forgotten your rationale. We'll need Signed-off_by:'s for all these patches. In future, please avoid sending multiple patches under the same Subject:, thanks.
