Dave, I also do not want to hold this series up by picking up patches 5, 6 and 7 (Intel drivers) so please apply the entire series after Richard provides his review. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

This series looks good to me but I want to give Richard an opportunity to review it first.
