Yeah, it'd be quite some code. I've written some patches for this before
I sent this mail, just so you know. We likely need a 5.6 and 5.7 patch
and a 5.8 patch after Christoph's changes. The 5.8 fixes I'd like to get
in during this merge window. So either I can do this or you can send me
the patches for this?
