Overall thoughts on the series: the direction is good and the
design looks solid, but there are still a few questions regarding
the implementation that we'll need to figure out.
We also need someone experienced in the area to look over the
hotplug part, and I would feel way more comfortable merging this
if Laine could go over the changes too... Hopefully he'll find
time to do that when v3 rolls around :)
