My intention to avoid modifying it further, except for extra fix patches
stacked on the end if necessary, as I want to try to avoid jinxing it from
getting pulled in the next merge window.

Yeah, sorry about that.  I took what was current linus/master at the time I
cut the branch with the intention of trying to get it into linux-next before
-rc5 was tagged (ie. >3 weeks before the merge window), but including the
X.509 crash fix.
