Although these patches do nothing but move code above a comment block, 
they make me worry/grumble, because the author clearly preferred the 
original code layout.

I'm -not- going to NAK this changeset, since it's not my code, but just 
pointing this out.  It would be nice if kernel-doc could grok this sort 
of stuff, but I understand why it can't (without parsing c/cpp).

ACK for the other changesets in your series.

	Jeff
