Thanks for submitting this, Eric. I haven't had a chance to actually try it out beyond running through my regular tester environment with 'make check-kernel', which is all green (it uses out-of-tree in most cases, then regular upstream devices for a net-next kernel). I have some fairly minor suggestions that you'll see on a few of the patches but I'd expect the next version should be good to merge.
