I've applied the above subset to pin-init-next, the two PRs that introduce these
commits are merged on GitHub side so other PRs that depend on them can be
rebased and tested with our CI suite.

I plan to apply the other patches in the series next Monday, and then send out a
new round of sync patches series of 3-4 upstream improvement PRs that depend on
them.

Best,
Gary
