I did a quick test and it just works fine ;)

May be not needed anymore ? IIUC you had added it for offset and friends.

I prefer this moving of the above code to header as separate patch,
just to keep it easy for bisection in case we break anything with new
transport layer. There's nothing I see, but to be safer. You can also
claim no functionality change with that patch then ;)

I saw this and couple other doc changes that are not related to this patch
but are fixed to existing code ? Can be separate patch again if I am not
wrong.

Otherwise looks good. Since we are not adding module support, I am fine
even if we have to make changes to transport ops bit later if required
and realised when adding new transport. Let us see if Peter has any major
objections.
