This looks like a bit much for 3.10 (certainly, subject lines like =20
"refactor" and "enhance" and "add support" aren't going to make Linus =20
happy given that we're past rc4) so I think we should apply =20
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/242896/ for 3.10.  Then for 3.11, =20
revert it after applying this patchset.
