OK.  The idea looks sound to me, and the only problems I found were
documentation.  (I'd like this and the details in the 0/12 mail captured
somewhere.  And if we came up with better blocker/blocked/block naming
I'd be happier, though I definitely wouldn't want the patches help up
for that.)  Feel free to add my ACK to the series.
