Overall looks great to me.
I would ship all patches except the last one for this merge window,
since I don't see anything controversial or dangerous in there.
Especially since it touches slab so much. My slab-arena changes
would need to adopt it and I don't want to delay the whole thing by two merge windows.
Harry's changes would need to rebased as well.
So the sooner the trees converge the better.
