I do not see any such code in mainline.  So for mainline, this is just
dead code, i. e. it adds maintenance efforts without benefit for any
mainline users.

Well, the patche shave been submitted long time ago, so I would have
expected to see such code soon after.  But so far, nothign happened.

Now you are trying to add even more code, with still no users in
sight.

I don't understand what you mean.  Didn't you just write there was
code ready to be submitted?  So that code is not ready and not
intended for mainline?
