Yea. I'll finish testing and add the version bump.  I wanted some public 
review time first.

BTW:  I try to post patches with "RFC" when I'm soliciting review and 
plan to resubmit.  If I think its ready to go, I'll put the kernel 
version where it's targeted, like "2.6.27" for now.   Is that the 
correct process?

Thanks!

Steve.
