_sigh_
I tried to submit this iteration from a personal email, because amazon's mail server was scrambling the "From" header and I couldn't figure out why (and also because I am leaving Amazon next month and wanted replies to go into an inbox to which I'll continue to have access). And then after posting the first 4 emails I hit "daily mail quota exceeded", and had to submit the rest of the patch series from the amazon email anyway. Sorry about the resulting mess (i think the threading got slightly messed up as a result of this). I'll something else out for the next iteration.
