Good to get confirmation on this, thanks, Michael.  These explanations also
look better than what I wrote, I'll amend the commit message.

Thanks for the help, I'll fix that.  I'm wondering when syzbot will start
to feed my series into the testers; I do still rely on those feedbacks on
compilation issues with such treewide changes, but so far I didn't yet
receive any reports.

I've also attached the new patch directly here in case of any further
comment.

Thanks,
