Thanks for this! I really really want a nommu UML mode for testing purposes so
I'm very happy you're doing this :)

One mildly annoying note though - it'd be good for the cover letter to summarise
what the series is about, what it achieves, how it compares for instance to
Hajime's original approach ([0]).

I guess how cover letters are used varies by subsystem somewhat but I find it
really actively useful to see a summary in the cover letter.

Anyway reading thorugh the RFC which already covers this seems that this
achieves nommu UML with less changes needed which sounds really interesting!

I may pull this series locally and have a play... :)
