Hi,

I decided to do some cleaning up here, and squashed these two patches.
It was getting annoying to review one patch and then see the follow-up
in the same series void some of the earlier comments that would have
caused a reject.

To put things short, pushed:
   59987fa..1c0e40d  master -> master

I also wrote the commit message for this patch from scratch. I do not
recall any of the conversion patches before this one to actually
document *why* we are doing this. This and other changes you can find
listed upstream. I thought I won't bother you with yet another round,
but just fix what I thought was important at the moment and push it.

Let's deal with any comments and fallout in follow-ups.

Thank you Bryce for picking this up, and Benoit too.


Thanks,
pq
