LGTM - ran into two problems testing, user error or on one and an issue 
on a single system that is not reproducible
anywhere else.  Ran check-kmod for systems running the out of tree 
kernel modules and check-kernel on a system
with the upstream kernel - all checks out well.  Passes a travis check -
