As this is also a fix to maint-2.8 track, I tweaked them to ensure
that they apply there, and queued the result as jk/common-main.  I
double checked the result by comparing the result of applying these
five patches directly on top of master, and the result of merging
that jk/common-main (based on maint-2.8) into master, and they seem
to match.
