I still think this is ordered all wrong. Esp. with that affinity context
doing the right thing isn't onerous at all.

So please, re-order this and fold all fixes back in so that it becomes
a sane series. Basically patches 5 and 6 shouldn't exist, they fix
issues created by the earlier patches.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will rework the series as suggested.

Cheers,
