Looks ok overall, but I haven't looked in depth. Once you post the
patches I'll have more specific comments.

Again, it's difficult to review unposted patches since I can't easily
comment on them inline. In general I urge you to get rid of any patches
that add code or struct members that are not actually used by that
patch. Sometimes that's unavoidable, but in those cases, the patch
description should explain why and what the new things are for.

The first patch is mostly OK actually. Most of those structs are
protocol definitions, so it's pretty clear what they're for. Since they
describe the what goes over the wire, there's little to review there.
That said, it wouldn't hurt to add them as you need them since that
will make the patch series "flow" more nicely.
