I have finally got through the whole series, sorry that it took so long,
and I have to say that I like it. There is just one issue I can see that
was already discussed by you and Ying regarding further soft reclaim
enhancement. I think it will be much better if that one comes as a
separate patch though.

So thank you for this work and I am looking forward for a new version.
I will try to give it some testing as well.
