I think aiming for 2.6.20 is reasonable, but I'm fine if this doesn't end up 
making it.  I'd like to get it into a branch targeting some kernel release (even 
if in the -mm branch), and cease maintaining the differences in svn.

There shouldn't be any separate cleanups.  Some changes to the synchronization 
was needed to ensure that ib_free_multicast() was called exactly once.  I went 
back over the changes based on some of Michael's comments, but I'll check again 
looking for cleanup only portions of the patch.
