Not quite true - the comparison I shared on 29/2 [1] shows a serious
regression caused by the 0010 patch. We've been investigating this with
Melanie off list, but we don't have any clear findings yet (except that
it's clearly due to moving BitmapAdjustPrefetchIterator() a bit down.
But if we revert this (and move the BitmapAdjustPrefetchIterator back),
the regression should disappear, and we can merge these preparatory
patches. We'll have to deal with the regression (or something very
similar) when merging the remaining patches.
