Please apply the following two patches too:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1030180/
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1030181/

The 1st fixes some minor regressions introduces by the proposing patch and the 2nd adds the same logic to processing of async responses as the proposing patch is doing for sync ones.
