My first try at building this series failed to even parse on the autobuilder. The second attempt has failed due to further bugs in these changes. This is using a significant amount of my time and the auobuilder's time to debug the series and makes me wonder how much testing its had. The changes do at least look like the right direction to change this code in though. I've a bunch of fixes in master-next to try and make the series work. You mentioned being away for several weeks. If I merge this, where do we stand if any other issues arise? Not sure I like the idea of waiting several weeks to merge this either :(. Cheers, Richard
