Linus mentioned he might get into the mix and do a bulk

simply trying to help knock an incremental amount of work
off the pile in advance of that (and reap some performance
benefits at the same time, at least on the x86 side).
So I'm definitely going to do some bulk conversion at some point, but
honestly, I'll be a lot happier if most users already self-converted
before that, and I only end up doing a "convert unmaintained old code
that nobody really cares about".
