Thanks!

Given the previous feedback from Linus W, Stephen, and Laurent I
expect things are good enough to land now, but it'd be good to get
confirmation (I removed some of the previous tags just to get
confirmation).  If we can get review tags early next week maybe it'll
still be in time to land for 5.8?
