Hi Steve,
   Now that the dynperm patchset is in, any thoughts on this one?
Anything amiss, or does it look OK as-is?

If it's OK as-is, then I recommend applying them in order. I'm pretty
sure that that should keep things cleanly bisectable, but I've only
really tested the entire patchset as a whole.

Thanks,
