This patchset is quite special though, as it touches a lot of subsystems
and depends on code not yet present in mainline ... quoting Andrew's reply
to me:

yeah, sorry, that's been confusing a few people.

Strictly I'd merge the core infrastructure and then send the dependent
patches into the relevant maintainers. But that can mean than we
needlessly miss the merge window, so it's most parctical to send along an
acked-by and I'll merge the dependent patch directly with the appropriate
ordering.
