Looks good to me. I would definitely like to pick this up. But yeah,
in order to pick up 2/2 we will need an ack from either Ted or Iurii.

Ted seems to be busy right now, so I think I will just ask Shuah to go
ahead and pick this patch up by itself and we or Ted can pick up patch
2/2 later.

Cheers
