The patch I just submitted overlaps with this patch a little bit. I think there wasn't
a really set delineation between what I was doing and what you were doing, so
we may have to merge this patch with mine. I think we both pretty much made
similar changes though, so it shouldn't be too bad. Acking this patch for now,
assuming we'll work through the merge bits.
