Hi Shannon,

I just completed my first full review of the series. I'm sorry I didn't
have time to do a full review on an earlier version. I have a few comments,
but most of them are minor. If you'd like to add some r-b's from me, then
here are the patches I can offer them for

1-5,8,9,11-13,16-21

5,8,9,12 had some extra masking on input/outputs that I'm not sure is
necessary.

Thanks,
drew
