Hmm, you like my version but then below argue against every point I make in
favour of it? I'm confused?

Did you mean to say you liked a suggested other revision or... really this
one? :)

If so and Dave likes it too then LGTM, pending any Linus/other veto.

For the rest of your email - a lawyer would say 'asked and answered'. I've
responded to every point of yours there about 3 times apiece across the
thread and I don't think it's a good use of time to loop around on things!

Cheers, Lorenzo
