This looks good to me, although I would like this to go through my tree
(to make sure it gets all my testing). I understand the next two
patches depend on this, how would you want to go about that?

One is that I can pull it in the next merge window, and the rest go in
after that. Or I can take the other two patches with the proper acks as
well.
