 Patch 4 is a fix for oops. I feel this is needed for RC, even though
its bit longer.
I am ok with moving Patches 1, 2 and 3 to for-next as they are not
seen n the normal execution.
I will post them for for-next.
I will drop this patch series and post a single patch for for-rc.
Rework required for this patch
as it is dependent on patch 3 now. I will update the commit message also.
