Hi Jens, Please consider PATCH 1/2 for 4.16 inclusion. I've included PATCH 2/2 to show the DM changes needed in order to make use of the block changes. I think, all things considered, this moves DM's interface with block core in a better direction for the long-term but I obviously welcome any critical feedback. Thanks!
