Thanks for taking a look, there is still an on-going discussion with 
Peng about how to best approach this, the discussion is here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/PAXPR04MB84595BA5BEAE2D21F015036688232@PAXPR04MB8459.eurprd04.prod.outlook.com/

Let's wait until that settles before taking this patch, or Peng's.
