Kees - I think the patch set looks OK, but I'm curious about the change 
in provenance. The first patch in in the series appears to originate 
from a completely different author as compared to the same patch in 
Maverick.

Maverick: UBUNTU: SAUCE: x86: implement cs-limit nx-emulation for ia32
Natty: i386: NX emulation

Can you provide a brief explanation of your thinking as to why the patch 
sources seem to have changed?
