Don't bother reviewing this patch. It needs to be tested and possibly refactored first. Geert and Herve, This patch serious should hopefully fix both of your use cases [1][2][3]. Can you please check to make sure the device links created to/from the overlay devices are to/from the right ones? I've only compile tested it. If I made some obvious mistake, feel free to fix it and give it a shot.
