Rajesh, I have marked this for 3.10 tentatively. As you call out a per 
xlator task, could you elaborate what is needed from others?

We need to possibly get ack's from the various component maintainers so 
that this can happen for 3.10. So if you could share a list of things 
that need to be done/checked for each component and drive the same, in 
terms of timelines, we could get this feature complete.
