Hm, I'm not sure what happened to the userspace part of this which is
only partly there.  Thanks, I'll get that back or done (it's never been a
problem for userspace, but should still be done).  It may make sense to
do some of this earlier for both, I'll have to see.

yes (it's a reply to the convert which is skipped)

Yeah, it was used in an earlier version of this patch with a lot more checking
and debugging.  I'll see if there's some debugging or checking I could add that
uses it or else remove.
