Would be nice to explain what and why moves so reviewers don't have to
reverse-engineer the idea behind this patch.

Moving move_to_active around is really scary and should be a separate
patch. The reasons it is where it currently is is that move_to_active is
somewhat destructive and can't be undone. Hence why it is past the point
of no return.

Also why can't we just pull this out into generic code?
