Sorry -- -u0 was an artifact from when I was splitting my large patch
into this patch series (I ahve a script that I use to diff between git
mainline and my posix series).  I have fixed that change.
If it would make things easier, I have a git repo @
git://fnordovax.org/pm-utils/ that contains all my patches.
