As we're at -rc7 I'm looking to stash low-priority things away for
consideration after 6.13-r1.

But I don't know if all of these are low-priority things.  Because you
didn't tell me!

Please please always always describe the possible userspace-visible effects of
all fixes.  And all non-fixes, come to that.

So.  Please go through all of the patches in this series and redo the
changelogs, describing the impact each patch might have for our users.

If any of these patches should, in your opinion, be included in 6.12
and/or backported into -stable trees then it would be better to
separate them into a different patch series.  But a single patch series
is acceptable - I can figure this stuff out, if I'm given the necessary
information!  

Thanks.
