Sorry for the delay.. I've been consumed with other work.  I will look
at this patchset for consideration for the 6.9 merge window (we still
have time to make changes given we're now squarely in the 6.9
development window).  So I appreciate getting you feedback sooner
rather than later is both useful and important.

I see Eric provided his Reviewed-by for v7 -- that really helps.  BUT,
for some reason you didn't add his provided Reviewed-by to each commit
when you rebased with v8...

Mikulas, if you beat me to providing closer review: great.  If not,
that's cool.  That DM requires such care (with sprinkling changes
throughout DM core and targets) is unfortunate -- but	could be
unavoidable all things considered.  I will look closer "soon" (if not
this week then next).

Thanks for following up!

Mike
