Did a quick read through, didn't see anything I disagree with.

Is there any urgency to getting this merged?  If not, due to the dependencies
with x86 stuff queued for 6.3, and because of the cross-architecture changes, it
might be easiest to plan on landing this in 6.4.  That would allow Paolo to create
an immutable topic branch fairly early on.
