For all those comments, the issue here is that changing something in
those definitions has consequences in 10/15 patches that will need to be
changed. Rather painful. It'd be much easier to do those change once we
have that code upstream, on top. As far as I can see there are minor-ish
improvements over what's here.

I've added an item in my post-merge plan. Sounds like an acceptable
plan?

Thanks,
