Oh, thanks! Sorry, I didn't realize you had already merged it.
I assume you are ok with my changes in v2 w.r.t your previous review 
comments.

Arnaldo,
Please have a look at this revision and let me know if you have any 
other concerns. Also, I have missed including Ananth's "Reviewed-by" in 
this patchset.  I'm guessing Ananth is ok with this revision as well.
