Is unprepare_message() a suitable place here?  I've got a feeling the
answer is no...

I think that's probably OK as well, it's not ideal though (and risky if

Please send fixes for these as separate patches (ideally without any
dependency on your new work so we can send them to Linus as fixes).

I can't actually see that since I have no internet access right now!
