Andrew, can we make this happen? It would require removing Oscar's
series until it can be modified to work on top of this.
There is only one small issue with this series as it originally went
into mmotm. There is a missing conversion of spin_lock to spin_lock_irq
in patch 7. In addition, there are some suggested changes from Oscar to
this patch. I do not think they are necessary, but I could make those
as well. Let me know what I can do to help make this happen.

I agree that it might not be necesary to make such changes, but I still would like to see an explanation on the points I raised(excluding the list_del() as you already proved that is not necesary), just to be sure I am not missing anything.
