v1.) http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-February/009084.html
v2.) http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-March/011170.html
v3.) http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-June/017680.html

Changes from v3 include:

I'd like to get these patches applied now that I'm confident that
they function correctly, so please give them a go.
