Hi Paul,

Besides the missing SoB I have two more comments:

I really don't like the padding. I noticed that I commented on that in v3,
but apparently forgot to reply to your reply.

So yes, I prefer that we should convert to using flags in order to avoid
padding.

So I need a v6. Otherwise it all looks good to me.
