This patch(version v4, fails to apply on -next but the conflict is trivial
and in the deleted code so I just retained your copy of all the functions)
plus the below change fixes the issue I reported on Juno.

I won't give you tested-by yet as you have plans to revert some things
and I resolved the conflict here though trivial, I prefer to apply the
patch as is with all associated changes and test once more.

Thanks for digging this and fixing it.
