Hi Robert,

I had a look again at this patch.

Wouldn't it be even cleaner if patch 1 & 2 above would be swapped? First
move the chunk, then rename the file?

And is there a branch I should base this on? Currently, I am thinking of
basing this patch on for-next and then submit it around rc1 time.

Does that make sense to you?
