I have a series cooking too, but this series got too long already. 

Didn't want to slow the minrev and the late load enabling patches :-)

I'll submit right after. There is a bit more cleanup, I had planned.

Wanted to add a check every AP that if its different fms+pf warn 
and bork late-load. We don't need a list, all we need is a single entry.

We didn't push the fix below, but removing the cache is a better option. So
that's already in my list.
