.. actually it does exist in the kernel, and I should read all my
emails before writing new ones, because you had a patch in one of your
later emails that looks fine to me and used it.

Although I think I'd prefer that inline  helper model instead to make
things more legible.

Would you be willing to make a frankenpatch that combines our two approaches?
