[RESEND][PATCH v8 0/7] Preparatory changes for Proxy Execution v8

[John Stultz]

After sending out v7 of Proxy Execution, I got feedback that the
patch series was getting a bit unwieldy to review, and Qais
suggested I break out just the cleanups/preparatory components
of the patch series and submit them on their own in the hope we
can start to merge the less complex bits and discussion can focus
on the more complicated portions afterwards.

So for the v8 of this series, I only submitted those earlier
cleanup/preparatory changes:
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240210002328.4126422-1-jstultz@xxxxxxxxxx/

After sending this out a few weeks back, I’ve not heard much, so
I wanted to resend this again.

(I did correct one detail here, which was that I had accidentally
lost the author credit to one of the patches, and I’ve fixed that
in this submission).

As before, If you are interested, the full v8 series, it can be
found here:
  https://github.com/johnstultz-work/linux-dev/commits/proxy-exec-v8-6.8-rc3
  https://github.com/johnstultz-work/linux-dev.git proxy-exec-v8-6.8-rc3

However, I’ve been focusing pretty intensely on the series to
shake out some issues with the more complicated later patches in
the series (not in what I’m submitting here), and have resolved
a number of problems I uncovered in doing wider testing (along
with lots of review feedback from Metin), so v9 and all of its
improvements will hopefully be ready to send out soon.

If you want a preview, my current WIP tree (careful, as I rebase
it frequently) is here:
  https://github.com/johnstultz-work/linux-dev/commits/proxy-exec-WIP
  https://github.com/johnstultz-work/linux-dev.git proxy-exec-WIP

Review and feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!
