Hmm, patch 05/14 depends on the existence of the new word. That's a non-issue
if you're planning on taking this for 5.11. If it's destined for 5.12, maybe
get an ack from Paolo on patch 05 and take both through tip?

Yeah, I guess that. Both are not urgent 5.11 material to take 'em now.
So I guess I'll wait for Paolo's ACK.

If you think this patch is valuable go ahead and pick it. I can wait until after the merge window to queue patch 5. It is independent from the others and I had questions, so I am just queuing the others for 5.12.

I can drop them from this series when I send v3. In hindsight, I
should have split these two patches into a separate mini-series from
the get-go.

Nah, no worries. We do patch acrobatics on a daily basis. :-)
