BTW, I ran my full test suite on your patches with the below updates and it
all passed. Note, I did not run the "bisectable" portion of my test. That
is, the part that runs tests on each patch in the series. Because I know
that fails. I just ran the tests on the last applied patch.
I can break up and clean up the patches so that they are bisectable, and if
that passes the bisectable portion of my tests, I can still send them to
you for 6.8. I think this does fix a lot of hidden bugs, and would like all
this to go back to 6.6 when the eventfs was first introduced.
