I'm pretty happy with the series! If you can address the minor nits I
pointed out and send a v4, I'll get it queued for -next. It won't make
v4.11; we're almost at the merge window and I want to make sure this
gets as much testing time as possible. It should be good for v4.12,
though.

Thanks for the series; I know a lot of people have wanted the functionality. :)
