Ouch.  I top-posted - oops!  Please reply on this email rather than
the previous.


Hey Florian,

Thank you for the time and effort that you put into this patch series.
I was excited to see this, when I first saw it posted a few weeks ago.
I have every intention of giving it a review, but just haven't found
the time yet.  I'm sure that Mauro would say the same.

I'm sure that he and I both will find some time, hopefully over the
next few weeks or sooner, to give this a thorough review and provide
some feedback.

Hopefully we can put this on its way for merge soon.  Please bear with us..

Thanks again for your contribution.
