Please do not mark a patch whose contents has changed with "RESUBMIT"
and the like.  The earlier ones you had had unwanted "// Fixme" left
in the patch and I am guessing that this version has removed them?
Those who have read the earlier one, when the see the RESUBMIT in
the title, would probably have ignored the patch and wouldn't have
noticed that this one is improved over the previous attempts.

As to what the patch tries to achieve, I do not have a strong
opinion, but the title and the explanation of the patch in the
proposed log message looked somewhat strange, and the newly added
comments looked overly long, all of which you may want to correct
when you send out "[PATCH v2]".

Thanks.
