It is indeed hard to follow, and maybe I missed something, but from what I can tell, your series looks all sane. It certainly seems to make things much more straightforward. Of course, exactly _because_ it's such a messy area, maybe it introduces something odd, but all the patches look relatively straightforward. And you remove more lines of code than you add, which is always nice to see. So ack from me. Oleg? Jann? Anybody? Do you see anything strange that I missed? Linus
