Just a few things:
- When resubmitting patches, please track a version number somewhere (for
  the whole series + for individual patches, if they change). With
  complicated stuff like this (which probably needs a few review rounds)
  it makes life _much_ easier. Also _always_ say what you've changed wrt
  the last submission (in the intro for the whole series if it's something
  bigger, in the commit message for individual patches if it's just a
  implementation detail).
- Just because I've complained that your last submission smears stuff all
  over different patches doesn't mean you have to mould them into one ;)
  Trying harder to sensibly split them up was the idea I had in mind ...
  Yep, I'm fully aware that this probably requires a complety rewrite of
  the bugger.

I think I've sufficiently demonstrated with my last attempt at a review
that the code as-is too confusing to review. So I'm not gonna make myself
a laughing stock by trying again - on a quick lock it seems essentially
unchanged.

Yours, Daniel
