Good to hear. I never got around to reviewing that final HTE patch
and, while it did end up pretty close to what I expected, there are a
few things that I would've done slightly differently that I'd like to
tidy up.
And also have the HTE specific code compiled out unless CONFIG_HTE is
selected, as that is very likely to be the case for most builds.
But that can wait for v5.20.

Cheers,
Kent.
