Ahoy!
She's good to go, hoist anchor!
Here's some real booty for all you land-lubbers.
There's not too many changes, with t'bulk of the patch bein'
defconfig updates, but the shortlog at the aft of this here email
describes the details if you care, you scurvy dogs.
Header cleanups, various one-liners, and random other fixes.
