We took one necessary patch, but I think at least the second
one of the recently posted series would also be needed. And
the really important patch for migration forward compatibility
was patch 5 in that series, yet I wouldn't want to take patches
3 and 4 for 4.2.

In any case, the series is in need of resubmission anyway.
Perhaps (if that's possible, I didn't check in too much detail)
reordering patch 5 could be done at once.
