Is this issue generated by the changes in the overall patch set, or an issue present regardless of the proposed zeroing avoidance feature? If the former, then maybe just submit as a standalone patch, seems like a useful improvement regardless. If fundamentally tied to the zeroing-avoidance feature, then nudging this to the front or end of the series (depending on conflicts) would help focus the review of the core new feature. ~Gregory
