Thanks for working on this!

In the next version, you probably want to add the "Co-developed-by:"
and "Signed-off-by:" tags from Hassan Nadeem, as appropriate. Also,
I'd CC Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@...hat.com> too, since he will likely
have comments on these improvements. :)

Once Thomas posts his next revision, I'll put together a tree with
both sets of patches so people can more easily test the combined
results.
