alan: Daniele pointed out that i removed Vivaik's RB from rev-3.
The difference from this rev vs rev is a hunk of code got removed
and went into a different patch (that reused the same code, is
higher priority - CI related, and had to go first). So this rev
is identical to rev3 except a hunk that has been removed.
I've checked with Vivaik and he is good with keeping his R-b
since the rest of the patch is the same. Thus repasting his
R-b from rev3 (Thanks Daniele and Vivaik):
