So, ummm, I don't know what Jens is thinking but at this point I'm
basically waiting for someone else to pick it up as review to return
ratio is too low to continue.  It doesn't seem like I can get the
series into a shape I can ack with reasonable amount of effort.

My memory is kinda hazy now but here are two review points that came
to my mind before giving up.

* The response that I got after asking for justification basically
  boiled down to "it has to".  Whatever that means.

* In the patch series, fixes and feature changes are still mixed in
  order.  I gave up after this.

Thanks and good luck.
