My second patch somehow got lost in the mailing system (I suspect
due to its size of >300kB). I will wait for some more comments
and then do a reroll thereby splitting the second patch in smaller
parts ...

For such big patches it also helps if you push them somewhere public,
and post the URL and branch name, so that interested parties can still
have a look.

But yes, vger.kernel.org silently discards all mail above 100KB, see

  http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

in the last section.
