When posting a series, please ensure that your messages are all marked
In-Reply-To a 0/3 cover letter (it may help if you do 'git config
format.coverletter auto').

I don't see any tests changed...

...in this diffstat.  If something really changed in this particular
patch since v2, then you should drop the Reviewed-by lines in order to
make sure I re-review it.  Or, if the changes you mention here are to
other patches in the series, then the 0/3 cover letter would have been a
better place to put that information.

At any rate, I'm happy with this current patch, even if its presentation
in a series is less than ideal, so you can keep my R-b.
