Oh I'm not trying to get them into 2.6.28, I'm just trying to get them
more widely tested, hopefully aiming for 2.6.29.  They have been stable
in all of my tests, and the last patch fixes a real (behavioral - not
oops-inducing) bug in the current code, but I'm trying to figure out
which path they should take.
