David, can you add some supplementary information to your cover letter
et al.  which seems to be part of what Alexei is asking for and seems
quite reasonable?

It is not clear to me what more is wanted in the cover letter. His
complaints were on lack of tests. I sent those separately; they really
aren't tied to this specific set (most of them apply to the previous set
which provided the uapi and core implementation). This set is mostly
mechanical in adding wrappers to 2 fields and shoving existing code into
the else branch of 'if (fi->nh) { new code } else { existing code }'

Are you talking about this one?

From single sentence of commit log it's not clear at all
whether they're related to this thread.
Will they fail if run w/o this set?
