Just want to reminding, this patch is based on Stefan's patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9932833/

First thing is Stefan patch is not merged so I just want to note here
have some dependency with Stefan patch. BTW, if you think we should
merge this patch with Stefan patch, it's fine for me to merge into
Stefan patch.

Thanks for suggetion.
