All queued up, thanks.  With a -fix for [7/8].

fyi, I'm always reluctant to include testing info in the permanent
record.  Because it's development-time info which becomes obsolete very
quickly.

It isn't useful to someone who is reading the changelog in mainline in
2028 (or even Nov 2026) because the patchset will have had far more testing
since these words were written.

It is of course very useful info but I suggest it be maintained below
the "---", where all short-term development-time info is best
maintained.
