See the first patch for motivation & why. The only reason this has a cover letter is to explain the !fixup commits. IIRC the mailing list has a 100K limit, which this series would violate, so I split up the second commit.
Consider all these !fixup commits to have by Signed-off-by, easier to say that here than to modify them all.
