I have just sent a new-maybe-almost-final v4 rebased on top of next-20241216 to
help with the head-scratching. I haven't yet done extensive build tests or a full
xfs-test run on it yet because it sounded better to get it out sooner. So no doubt
the kernel build bot will find some fat finger of mine somewhere :-)

That said the rebase wasn't awful so let me know if it should be rebased on a
different tree.
