 Hello Alexandr!
 
 I'm afraid singe huge patch for legacy release is not the promising start.
 Since development model assumes new code being committed to -current 
 first, you should probably port these features to -current (it does not 
 differ from 8-STABLE much).
 It is also much easier to discuss/import features by small chunks 
 instead of single huge change, so splitting every feature into separate 
 diff is possibly  a good thing to do.
 
 Please note that some of functionality (skipto tablearg, interface 
 tables are already implemented in a different way).
 
 Personally for me index table for fast skipto/pipes, mapped tables and 
 io_fast patch looks very promising, so we can discuss directly if you're 
 interested.
