As I mentioned to you before: please do the best you can reasoning
through (and even quantifying on your own) the performance reward these
patches provide.

Then we'll need to make a call on risk vs reward.

Nikos mentioned in another mail on Friday that this dm-snapshot patchset
is a prereq for more dm-snapshot changes he has.  Nikos, if you could
forecast what those additional changes to dm-snapshot are that could
help inform the review process for this initial patchset.

Thanks,
Mike
