Well I Cc'd Juan and David, so if they had a problem with this, I expect
they'd complain.  David acked so I assume it's ok.  Since I wasted time
testing this and have it on my tree already, might as well just merge.

Which reminds me: we really should have someone in MAINTAINERS
for migration-related files.
