I'm going to take a break from reviewing this now I've been through
about 2/3rds of the patches. Overall I think the series is in great
shape and while the performance modulations are interesting they are not
a blocker from my point of view. I'll happily take a small hit to
performance for a more unified (and correct!) code base. However the
frontend maintainers for those affected may take a different view.
