[PATCH 0/4] Fixes for SLB to C series

These are some fixes I've got so far to sovle hangs and multi hits
particularly on P8 with 256MB segments (but can also be reproduced
on P9).

I'm not yet sure these solve all the problems, and they need some
good review and testing. So far they have been solid for me.

Thanks,
Nick
