The patchset looks much better now.  The only issue I see is what
Clemens suggested.  So I'll merge v4 patchset once when you resubmit
with the fix.

But for v4 set, please put "v4" in the patch subjects, not only in the
cover letter.  You can generate it via a proper prefix option with
git send-email or git format-patch.


thanks,

Takashi
