Hello,

This is a resend of the patches originally posted here:

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-August/114344.html

I received some minor comments in that thread, but nothing that warranted
any changes to the code. Due to the nature of these changes, I would
very much like to put these into -next for some exposure prior to merging.

Again, all feedback welcome.

Will
