I've spotted that while compile-checking my changes locally, but I might
have sent you the wrong patch here, I'll double check in the future to avoid
these embarrassments :-(

This is weird, all these patches applied cleanly on my local copy, I'll fetch
a new copy from your "for-next" tree and check w/ it.

In the mean time, thanks for your observations, I'll try to keep a closer look
on future patches.
