This is getting ridiculous, I had replied to your earlier mails on why
my patchset is NOT doing the exact same thing. I had also explained
why helping was not feasible.

The basic point again: I am trying to give a much simpler patchset
to solve the same problem, I take it that you haven't reviewed my
patchset before writing this mail. I would have appreciated
a technical discussion rather than this pointless flamefest.

If you have reviewed it, you can see that there are just 5 patches
instead of 23, and that overall it is a much simpler approach.

Again, as I said, the whole point of my patchset is that is much  easier
to go thru and validate and merge or drop as needed.

Anyway, if you are on target to hit this merge window, I really hope
that happens and there will no need for me to spend further time on
this.
