Ok, so how should we proceed? I propose I test this patchkit, which
indeed looks cool from this cover letter description, yay!

If I find no problems, I'll merge it and, then, on top of it, you guys
can work on having this per-feature priv storage sorted out?

Please advise, meanwhile I'll cherry-pick whatever seems easy from both
patchkits.
