Sorry it took me so long to get to this.

The changes in patches 1-3 look sensible in general, but I think I'd
prefer you dropped the flags field and used size == 0 to mean bare
address. It feels silly to have to set size = 1 and have a dummy one
byte buffer that doesn't get transfered. Without the payload I think it
feels natural only the address is transfered.

BR,
Jani.
