The series is still breaking the build and the io tests.

I picked some patches in the series to see if it was
supposed to work, I could not build without fixing some
stuffs (like I commented on [31/32]).

After fixing the build stuffs I could not successfuly run
the io tests.

Testing with all your patches applied I could also not run
the io tests, they all failed.

Regards...
