So how much of the 84 patches have/will land when? I assume nothing yet but some
for 3.8 but it would be good to know the target. As of now with 80+ changes I
personally would be quite scared. Ok, I still have to look at them...

I guess your branch is not rebased in a way to keep the delta on top. Not wrong
technically but making review not simpler. ;) Cannot promise when I get time to
look at it but I will try to do.
