thanks for taking care of this. Sorry for the late response, I have been
away for a whole week with no email access.

I understand you are providing generic changes and it would be up to us
to update individual drivers so to take advantage of those semplifications.
Please forgive me if I got this all wrong though.

I've got a few questions then:

1) What happened to your initial proposal of renaming gc->mask_cache to
gc->shared_mask_cache? Does that mean you intend to keep compatibility
so individual drivers can be updated one at a time?

2) What shall we do with such potential patches for individual drivers,
given the dependencies on your work? Wait until yours get merged?

3) [a bit OT] anyone got a clue why I cannot see my previous patch
series on patchwork.kernel.org? Neither can I find from within
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel.
I looked up '[PATCH v3b 0/9] refactoring for mask_cache' and could not
find it, only some replies to the thread were shown.
Patches/messages from the same thread are correctly shown on
news.gmane.org under gmane.linux.kernel, though threading is broken on
my reader; they will not be found through the web interface for
gmane.linux.kernel though.
I noticed this was a cross post to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org and
stable@vger.kernel.org (which I guess is something that should not be
done under any circumstances). And all the above works just fine for
-stable as opposed to LKML.
Could this cross-posting be the root cause for this whole mess?

Thanks!
Gerlando
