Overall the patch looks good, I think it shouldn't introduce any regressions
at least from the codepaths I was able to inspect, but please include more
details in here from the cover letter, in fact you don't need it just add all of
the details here so we have them, especially the test setup. Also please provide
some details how this patch was tested. It'd be great if you could provide a
selftest for it so we can make sure it's considered when doing future changes.

Thank you,
 Nik
