Hi All,

I, in my effort to support Mike's excellent work, will be helping out
with Kaigai san's patch's review.

I have been thinking of some tests that could be edge cases for the
patch, and will discuss them with Mike this week and test.

Also, in the first look, the patch looks good. I will give it a more
thorough look this week and send over a review to the max of my
capabilities.

Regards,

Atri
