I believe I have provided a "Reviewed-by" tag for all patches in
this series.  I've made a few minor suggestions, but nothing I
saw deserves issuing a new version of the series.  The only
"big thing" is whether you want to rework the stuff that David
Laight commented on in patch 5 (and 15 too).  I agree with him
that the code there isn't very pretty and could be improved,
but as I said in my review, my preference would be to get this
accepted with a promise from you to revisit that.  Improving
that would improve readability and maintainability, and that's
important.  But there's too much *other* code in this series
and I hate to see its acceptance delayed further.

So anyway, I'm done reviewing this, and in general I trust that
you will tell me (and drop my Reviewed-by tag) if you change
anything substantive in a new version of the series.
