I have no problem with that dependency.

In future, it would be better if you split this up into multiple =
patches, one for each actual change.  I like to have a separate checkin =
comment for each; this makes it easier to assemble the ChangeLog for =
releases.  If you look at the commits list, you can see how I broke it =
up.  The first two patches probably should have been applied in reverse =
order.=
