It took some messing with (due to some over-eager people fixing spelling
mistakes and compiler warnings that you didn't have in your tree), but
I've applied these now. Thanks for doing this work.

But, as I already said, this patch set produces some big compiler
warnings, can you please fix them up before I get nasty messages from
the linux-next maintainer?

thanks,
