Thanks for posting this 2nd round of patches, I know have a clearer
view of what you're trying to achieve.
Could you be a bit more specific about the remaining rework (your 3rd
round)?

Also, if you don't mind, I'd like to have reviews and testing from intel
users before applying the series. Can you Cc Andy (and possibly other
intel maintainers) for the next round.

Thanks,

Boris
