Peter Z., to be honest all these later patches are just caused by not having generic TSX events/modifiers and you not liking my original approach. I'm now at 10+ patches for the sysfs stuff and counting and have conflicts with parallel work by Jiri and in general it's still all somewhat hacky and actually far more code than the original patches. I'm very tempted to go back to the original approach with generic events and modifiers, that was far simpler and cleaner and really did work better, and it was a far less intrusive patchkit.
