I'll mark patches with "for-2.12" if there are.

IMHO it'll still be risky considering what has already reported.

Here's my plan, hopefully to make everyone happy - we keep OOB turned
off for 2.12 and even later.  In 2.13, I'll post some new patches to
add a new monitor parameter to allow user to enable OOB explicitly,
otherwise we never enable it.  After all, for now the only real user
should be postcopy. Then we don't need to struggle around all these
mess.  What do you think?
