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.
