Yes, you're right this one is more an enhancement than a fix: it
just selects a faster handler if it's possible.

But next one is a fix: it must not select the simple handler if
offload is requested.

If these commits are not pushed in stable, it's not a problem for
me, so I let you decide. In that case, I will remove the Cc: stable
from the last 3 commits. Do you confirm?

Thanks for the review.
