Sorry for the lack of action, but this has not been abandoned. I’ve just been
preparing a rebased patch-set last week, so expect to see some action soon.
Since we’re not in a merge window, I’m unsure if it is best to send out the
updated patches now, or wait until the merge window is open, but I’m about to
pose that question to the LKML.

This work has been on my back burner, because I’ve been busy with work on
Zstd and other projects, and have had a hard time justifying to myself spending
too much time on this, since progress has been so slow.

Best,
Nick Terrell
