Here is the next revision of the patch: I've adjusted some comments.

In my point of view this patch is not actually complex.  The reason
why it colored buildfarm in red is purely my fault: I messed up with
"make check-world" :(

I've registered it on the commitfest application to make it go through
commitfest.cputube.org.  My proposal is to re-push it once it goes
through commitfest.cputube.org.
