Thanks for the fixup, Mark! Looks good.

Ingo, you were not copied on the thread where this originated:

http://lore.kernel.org/[email-masked]

Boris had some involvement on an earlier version of this, but so far no

Please let Dave and I know if you have any concerns. We have it in -next
for soaking and testing, but happy to reroute if needed.
