Two comments from my side:
1. Lee already pointed issue with bisectability. This is a requirement.
2. What is missing in commit is the reason. Answer to question: Why?
The answer is in LKML discussion but it should be provided here - in
commit: because current naming is confusing and we want to sort it
out.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
