Dear Tejun,
thank you for the feedback, I'll do it in next patch set iteration.

However, I noticed another problem in neighborhood and I planned to
add new patches into current patch set. One of the new patches is quite simple,
however second one is quite complex and requires some discussion.

So I'm still thinking how best to solve these issues.

Thank you,
	Vasily Averin
