My sincere opinion is to apply this patchset as-is, and incrementally
improve multifs. Lack of alternatives (additional features) *should not* be
a reason to block this patchset. Again, I really think that this patchset
should be applied unless a technical reason, e.g. some deficiency
introduced by one of the patches, says otherwise. HPA, what do you think?
