More merging..

Btw, my mailbox is overflowing - for some reason I'm now on the cc list of
what appears to be a few hundred independent small diskcussions (but I'm
sure it's just a dozen or so), and if your patch is missing from pre13,
please don't send it again immediately. I'm trying to catch up with the
mail flood, and while you can _almost_ assume that if your patch isn't in
pre13 it's gone (and should be re-sent), please wait with the re-send for
a few days.

I'm concentrating on trying to merge existing patches (ie mainly -ac), and
on getting the VM issues sorted out, anything else pretty much got dropped
the last few days (and expect them to get dropped for a few more days at
least).
