You should have my feedback now, let me know if you have any questions.

One additional comment I might make is that you may either want to
wait until after v6.11-rc1 is released and I've had a chance to rebase
the lsm/{dev,next} branches and merge the patchsets which are
currently queued; there are a few patches queued up which will have an
impact on this work.  While it's an unstable branch, you can take a
peek at those queues patches in the lsm/dev-staging branch.
