Here is another rebased version, and a bit of history: the first prototypes of
this patch were sent more than 3 years ago. Of course the patch evolved
significantly over this period, and I take it as a good sign that it wasn't
rejected and keeps moving through the commitfests. At the same time the lack of
attention makes things a bit frustrating. I have an impression that it's sort
of regular situation and wonder if there are any ideas (besides the well known
advice of putting some efforts into review patches from other people, since I'm
already doing my best and enjoying this) how to make progress in such cases?
