I would still like to do it the other way around :-)
My patches replace (and in some case are equivalent) to part of this series, though I believe are cleaner, provide more readable changeset comments and justifications, etc... it would be awkward to just apply your stuff with "cleanup" passes from me on top of it.
I really prefer providing you with all the LMB infrastructure you need so you can simply drop LMB changes from your series.
I'll be working on that today, finishing what I plan to finish and if I get a chance (it's hard with one of the kids having a double ear infection) see if I can rebase your work and at least compile test it.
Stay tuned...
Cheers, Ben.
