    Sorry for that. I will add.

    But first, Thomas, Andy, are you ok with going with the first 7 patches?

    IIRC, you are the one who asked to add the handling of modules, since it was
    not clear whether some synchronization is needed after the poking (that is
    done w/memcpy in this early stage).

    I can add synchronization if needed until the rest of the series gets in.
