Ok, not only does the code look fine now, I actually find this split
to have been much easier to look through, with the drivers split from
the memory-failure code. Please do this in the future too when you
have this kind of "driver changes and very core infrastructure
changes".

It may _look_ like more work to me when I do two pulls, but if they
are separated out sanely, it makes review so much easier that it's
actually less work overall. Thanks.

So pulled.

Well, this second one is not actually pulled quite yet - I'm still
doing the build tests for 1/2, but 2/2 has already passed my
sniff-test, so it's just waiting for the build tests to finish.
