After a while, here's v2 of the series, also discussed at LSF/MM [1]. I've updated the documentation bits and expanded changelog. Also measured effect on SLOB, and found it to be within noise. That required first adding some accounting for SLOB, which I believe is useful in general, so that became Patch 1. All other details are in Patch 2 changelog.
