Indeed.

I have waited for comments on x86 bits from Thomas, but since they are
not coming, I have just decided to take patch [1/12] from this series,
which should be totally non-controversial,  as keeping it out of the
tree has become increasingly painful (material depending on it has
been piling up already for some time).

If need be, I can expose that commit in an immutable branch, so please
let me know if that's necessary.

BTW, Dan, I think that it was a mistake to make the rest of your
series depend on that patch.  The new directory could have been
created at any convenient time later.

Cheers,
Rafael
