Some notes to the process, not the code:

1) I asked to add my Reviewed-by to v3 in the previous thread, it's
   mandatory for authors to pick-up all the tags before publishing
   a new revision;
2) when sending v2, v3, ... vN, please have a changelog in the
   commit message or right below those '---' after your SoB, that
   makes it easier to review.

Thanks,
Olek
