Thanks, I went through patches 1 to 6 and applied them all.

Sorry for the buildbot failures, neither the centos7 x86_64 one, nor
the gentoo sparc one is obviously caused by your patches. And both
were spurious, later builds are green again.

I'll go through the rest later. But there are more unreviewed patches,
so it might take a bit.

Thanks,

Mark
