Thanks.

Both of these address http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302, yes?
I added that info to the changelogs, to close the loop.

Ingo, I'd propose merging both these together rather than routing one
via the x86 tree, OK?

Question is: when?  Are we confident enough to merge it into 2.6.30
now, or should we hold off for 2.6.30.1?  I guess we have a week or
more, and if the changes do break something, we can fix that in
2.6.30.1 ;)
