This all looks good to me, I'll queue them tomorrow when I'm awake
again. I'll move the last two patches to early in the series, since it
appears to me they're fixes and should be in place before we make the
situation worse with the temporary mm swizzling for text_poke.
If you want to post a new version of patch 4 before then, that'd be
awesome, otherwise I'll see if I can do those few edits myself.
