As you know usually we don't backport features (been burnt too much in
1.5), but here if it fixes a regression, I guess it's a bit different.
I've had a new look at the code and it looks safe.

However could you please explain a bit more what exactly changed and
how this broke, so that we can add the explanation in the backport
commit message ? It's important because if anyone later faces an issue,
we'll have to decide if we need to keep it or to revert, and in this
case to know what it's supposed to fix.

Thanks for the pointers. None of them was marked BUG, and no other one
was marked as depending on them, that's why they were not spotted during
the maintenance review cycle.

Just checked, the last two are only cleanups, adjustments for comments
or the removal of an unused macro, so they are not needed there at all.
The first one was just backported however.

Thanks!
Willy
