Thanks Vincent, just in time for tests to run over the weekend!

I can confirm the patches slotted in easily into a yet-to-be-relased v6
of my series that still has my fix inserted after patch 2. After looking
at your series, I see only patches 3-5 need to be retested as well as
my own patches on top. This should take less time as I can reuse some of
the old results. I'll post v6 if the tests complete successfully.

The overall diff is as follows in case you want to double check it is
what you expect.
