I pulled this, looked at it, and unpulled it again.

I don't want to have years of "fix up the mistakes after the fact".

This is all done entirely incorrectly, and just as an example of that,
subbuf_map_prepare() is another case of "tracing code works around the
fact that it did things wrong in the first place".

So instead of merging a new feature that was mis-designed and is
already having code working around its mis-design, I'm not merging it
at all.
