No, it was not inentional. Like the patch 8/8, I had comments/description in all of them. Will make sure the next spin has the description. > > Also, I don't think this patchset is really complete yet.

I really would like to make it a separate patchset. It would be really cleaner IMHO to separate it as anohter patch.
