I respinned the original patch based on feedback from Christoph for
3.2 and even did some light testing then, but got distracted and never
posted the result.

I've just ported them over to 3.10 and they merge (with a small fix
due to deferred workqueue API changes) and build. I did not try to run
this version though.
I'll post them as replies to this message.

I'd be happy to rescue them from the "TODO" pile... :-)
