Comment:

 I've had a look at this, but with mixed success.

 Applying {{{8333_parent_init.patch}}} and
 {{{8333_finite_fields_to_new_coercion.2.patch}}} to 4.6.alpha1 on top of
 the new folded, positively-reviewed patch at #7883, I get one trivial
 failure (because I backported a hunk of one of these patches to get #7883
 to work). This is fine and can happily be ignored. However, it's very
 broken with just those two patches (Sage won't even start up, because of a
 broken import statement).

 I tried applying all the hunks of {{{7585_12_1_fixes.2.patch}}} other than
 the ones involving residue fields. That almost worked, but not quite:
 there was still an infinite recursion error occuring in
 {{{residue_field.pyx}}}.

 David: can you either get this working on its own, or rebase the patches
 at #8334 so I can review this and #8334 together?
