So I'm a bit unsure which tree this series is going to come in
through. There's no clear maintinership for this area, so I'm just
making sure that Andrew has this on his radar because I suspect this
is going to fall in his lap.

Oleg, you're really the obvious maintainer choice at least for some of
this, but I don't recall having ever pulled from you? If you are ok
with this and were to put  git tree etc, that would certainly also
work very well.  Or at least ack's for Andrew?
