added review to all patches, will hopefully be able to add a Tested-by
tag early next week, along with a v1 RFC for MHD bit-tracking.

We've been testing v5/v6 for a bit, so I expect as soon as we get the
MHD code ported over to v7 i'll ship a tested-by tag pretty quick.

The super-set release will complicate a few things but this doesn't
look like a blocker on our end, just a change to how we track bits in a
shared bit/bytemap.
