The patch is against Emacs 27, I guess?  (Because it didn't apply
cleanly on Emacs 28.)  We're not accepting new features for Emacs 27,
though, so can you respin it for Emacs 28?

Also -- it's slightly obscure what it's doing, but testing seems to
indicate that it just puts a face over the current line when you're
doing a `C-x r m' command?  That's nice, but I think it would also make
sense to restore these faces when jumping to a buffer from the bookmark
buffer -- otherwise it's just a bit confusing.
