This patch was sent standalone. The reason for the "3/7" suffix is that the
author wasn't aware that this should be avoided for independent patches.

It was previously part of a treewide series, where the treewide changes have
been decided to do in multiple cycles instead, such that each subsystem can pick
up the corresponding patches.
