Good points.

Agreed. It has been done.

Okay, this is a little different than what you were asking for in your
previous review
comment in which you suggested the locking patches should be in a series
separate
from dynamic ap. This I can get on board with; however, we are now
talking about
increasing the number of patches in this series.

I overlooked the names you suggested - i.e., apm_delta/apm_diff - and
for some reason
beamed in on "new apm" as if you were suggesting that as the name of the
variable.
Of the two names, I prefer apm_delta, so I will go with that.
