Regardless, patches 1-2 and should _really_ go to Linus' tree (and 
eventually -stable) while we figure out the rest of the problems. They 
fix obvious regressions in the code paths and we have reports from 
people that they help. Yes, they don't fix everything for everyone but 
we there's no upside in holding back fixes that are simple one line 
fixes to regressions.
