Gentle ping.
I've resend the patch 4/8 [1] which addresses your comments and
a comment regarding static analyzes conducted by Dan [2].

Do you need more time for this patch set? Maybe you would like
me to help you with rebasing this series? Then please point me
to the desired branch, I am happy to do this.

Lukasz
