Thanks. Let's wait for the simple ones to get through the stage test
first before throwing in such that are more involved.

Oh, sorry, I overlooked that this requires 22949 as prerequisite. But
then again maybe we might just leave it as-is in 4.0 (and have distros
that care, like ours, continue to carry the patches themselves - after
all when providing the list I didn't pick everything we backported
anyway, just those that I considered more of a fix than an
enhancement).
