Thanks for the patches series.

Sorry for the late reply. I have been wanting to reply to it but get
super busy at work.

Some high level feedback for the series. Now that you demonstrated the
whole series, let's focus on making small mergiable baby steps. Just
like the swap table has different phases. Make each step minimal, each
step shows some value. Do the MVP, we can always add more features as
a follow up step.

I suggest the first step is getting the tiers bits defined. Add only,
no delete. Get that reviewed and merged, then the next step is to use
those tiers.
