Thanks a lot Maxim for the review.
This particular patch cannot be cut into more patches because it touches serialization between multiple functions.
So all of those have to be touched.
I tried to cut into two where previous patch does the mdev cleanup, but I guess for correctness I got to merge here.
Only the commit message is probably big, but I had to explain all 4-5 cases for this refactor.

I will send v1 with below changes.
1. drop patch-1 in the series.
2. simplify patch 7 to drop the bool part...
3. move the loop_removal code in mdev_remove() from patch-7 to 8 for correctness.
