But this code was added for a reason, yet you (again) don't make clear why
the change you make is correct. Putting in place something else _later_ in
the series isn't really an option. Things need to work at every patch
boundary.

Considering that (long ago) you indicated anyway that you'd work towards
better splitting up some of the large patches here, I think I'll stop here,
waiting for a re-submission.
