I just finished reviewing this series and provided some comments on
it, discussing some of the points with Peter and Samuel.
If you would have some time to review these comments and send a new
patch series early this week, that would be great, as Peter could then
integrate the entire series in 2014.02-rc1, still. The -rc1 is going
to be send this week.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
