You're right, your patch also fixes this issue by removing HBH headers
altogether. Thanks for bringing this up :)

Heads up: I'm working on another patch series that uses some of the code
you're removing...

Paolo: should we still merge this or should we just wait for Alice's patch to
be accepted? Also, should I already submit my next patch series or should I
wait until we're finished with this one?
