This conflicts with patch [1], currently in mmotm, and I'll send
another version anyway.
Should that patch be on top of these folio changes, or the other way around?

The latter would help w/ the stable backports that don't have folios
yet, but I can
send backports there as well; not a problem.

Thanks,
