Hi Andrew, Linus,

Can you please take a look at this patchset and let me know if it's
5.17 material?

My goal is to get it merged asap so that users can reap the benefits
and I can push the sequels. Please examine the data provided -- I
think the unprecedented coverage and the magnitude of the improvements
warrant a green light.

Thanks!
