There was some confusion in my review-comments, and Vipin and I discussed
the best was to rework - I suggested marking the current patches as Not Applicable.

Is there a better state to put the patches in Patchwork if we don't want commiters to look at them?
Or would an email to the thread stating V+1 in progress be better?

A new version will hit the ML soon.
