When submitting a v2 patch, please adjust the subject line to call out
that it is a v2, and send it as a top-level thread rather than
in-reply-to an earlier thread.  For more details, see:

You did not address any of my review concerns from v1, such as listing a
(since 1.6) label or marking maxqdepth as optional.  Are you sure you
sent the right patch?
