The only part that I'm not completely happy with are the commit messages
because there is a theme of "bypassing checks" in there. That's not
really what happens because the requests don't come from something
attached to the BlockBackends in the first place, and it also completely
ignores the case of BDSes that aren't currently attached to any BB and
are fixed by these changes as well.

Anyway, that's a minor problem as long as the code is right.
