TBH, I'm truly surprised to still see my name there as the author.

I definitely authored the early revisions and was influential on the
design, but comparing the final result to my initial hacked up POC
patches does not really reflect that.

It's probably too late to correct that, but I nevertheless want to make
it clear that:

   John Ogness and Peter Mladek have been the ones who sorted out the
   details and really should be those who get the credit.

Kodos to John and Peter for making this work!

Thanks,

        Thomas
