right generally I'd like to not go adding new features to 2.8, so
I think change_hatv shouldn't go in and I question whether the servername
should go in as well.

With that said 2.8 has had to live far longer than it should have as the
primary release and I think some improvements are worth making an
exception for. So I'll defer to those who use there features daily

only if you include the change_hatv patch. The bug comes about because
change_hat and change_hatv are using different format strings. The
change_hatv format is correct but despite this the change_hat one
seems to be consistent, so it should hopefully (is implementation
dependent, but years of use haven't seem to trip a bug) just work
when only change_hat is used.

The patch mixes use of change_hat and change_hatv, where change_hatv
is used to enter and change_hat to exit. In this case the kernel
sees different tokens because of how the userspace is formating them.
