I think that I already shared my reservations about this series.

On top of that, please, please, please make sure that it builds cleanly
before posting.

I took the shared infra 8 hours to munch thru this series, and it threw
out all sorts of warnings. 8 hours during which I could not handle any
PR or high-prio patch :( Not your fault that builds are slow, I guess,
but if you are throwing a huge series at the list for the what-ever'th
time, it'd be great if it at least built cleanly :(

FWIW please do not post another version this week (not that I think
that you would do that, but better safe than sorry. Last week the patch
bombs pushed the shared infra 24h+ behind the list..)
