Ok, looks good.

Since we have a few conflicts already, I think I'll wait for your
tree to go in first and then send my pull requests with the proper
fixups. I could already pull in some branches that I know I will
have to wait for.

Do you generally send one pull request for each branch you have
in the for-next branch, or do you send a single request for something
that roughly resembles the for-next branch at the time of the merge
window?
