I think we need to move forward on this soon so it has at least a
little time in -next.  And it sounds like I cannot merge this v14
as-is because it doesn't include these additional EEH cleanup/refactor
patches?  (If they are only cleanup and refactoring, I don't
understand why they would be required, but I haven't seen them, so I'm
taking your word for it.)

So I guess I'm waiting for v15.  Don't wait for my comments on v14.
Ideally I'd also like an ack from a powerpc maintainer.  This has so
much powerpc impact that I'm not comfortable stuffing this in without
their OK.
