Sounds good. I did it that way at first, but I wanted to keep the diff
simple in my first patch series. So renamed it. I can do the rename
that you suggested. Makes sense to me.

Will do.

Sounds good. I had wanted to do that anyway, but didn't think it was
part of this series. But I can add that change to this series.

Will do something like that.

I'll send out an updated patch series on Monday or Tuesday. Hopefully
Viresh would have replied by then to give his opinion on whether this
is okay by him.
