Comments from v1 are not addressed. Please address or disagree with them 
before reposting.

The cover letter did not reach the bpf list and patchwork — something is 
wrong with the reply-to. In general, avoid reply-to for multiple 
patches. This makes the thread unmanageable. The revision number is also 
missing in the subject.

Please read submitting-patches.rst before posting again, in particular 
"The canonical patch format" and "In-Reply-To" sections. Test it with
