Thanks, that's clearer now. I'm fine with taking the patches if you
are sure they're fine. There won't be many more 3.10 now (1 or 2 I
think) so we won't have many chances to fix a late regression if any.
If you can double-check and let me know the preferred option, I'll
happily follow your advice. If it requires some extra work on your
side or you're unsure, better not change anything.

Thanks!
Willy
