Can we please get these patches applied to trunk?

As long as they have to be applied by hand, that limits use to a tiny
handful of people. We need these in trunk as soon as possible so they can
propagate to modular-boost.

Once that is done, the number of eyes looking at and testing the
modular-boost conversion will go up a lot, and that will flush out bugs much
faster.

Thanks,
