Why is a bugfix that needs to be backported patch 5 in the series?
Shouldn't that be totally independant and sent on its own and not part
of this series at all so that it can be accepted and merged much
quicker?  It also should not depened on the previous 4 patches, right?

Andi, you know better than this...
