D'0h why didn't I think of that. A single short write is much better

In any case; can you try and keep the structure in this patch-set if you
post another version? It takes a lot of effort to unravel your
all-in-one patch.

I didn't have time to fully review and test your changes yet. So I just post a new series of what I currently have right now. I will certainly do the testing on your patches.
