Applied patches 1 to 4 (with a rewording of patch 4 commit message and
a fix in patch 1 to make single_erase() compliant with the new
->erase() semantic).

Note that I was prompt to apply those patches because I want them to
spend as much time as possible in linux-next so that we can detect and
fix regressions before the merge window. So please test linux-next on
your hardware.

This being said, nothing is set in stone, and if the series appears to
break existing setups and we can't fix the problems before -rc6, I'll
drop it.

Thanks,

Boris
