6.8 isn't realistic.  Between LPC, vacation, and non-upstream stuff, I've done
frustratingly little code review since early November.  Sorry :-(

I haven't paged this series back into memory, so take this with a grain of salt,
but IIRC there was nothing that would block this from landing in 6.9.  Timing will
likely be tight though, especially for getting testing on all architectures.
