Right, you brought this up last time, and I probably should have
mentioned it in the cover letter. I haven't seriously looked at doing
this yet, in large part because I got interrupted from working on this
and felt like v2 patches were long overdue (and you said you were fine
with doing it as a follow-up series anyway). But I will have a look to
see if it makes sense to change that in the next version of this series.
