Yeah, but during the discussion of that patch [0], we pointed out that
it needed to be rebased because of these new changes. So trying to
backport this rebased version is obviously not the right approach:
Pavel's original patch would be much more suitable for that.

Could we have annotated this patch in a better way to make this more obvious?
