I can:
1. Provide a new patch series to totally replace the previous 6-part patch

2. Provide the babystep-series ending up exactly where we are today (i.e.
after the patch series, plus bug fixes). Then, provide patches on top of
the existing series to get it into shape, both scope-wise (i.e. not trying
