Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases. I've updated the changes for the 2.6.23 kernel and attached the resulting patch. Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both Kconfigs and documentation texts.
