Thanks for the deep review and comments.

I thought initially to send a kind of quick RFC in order to check if we 
agree in the general idea, and polish the strange things that this 
series might introduce, as it will change some things I'm not able to 
test. I hope we can come to a clean patch series soon.

Thanks,

Walter
