Could you guys please finalize these issues?  I'd like to install
these changes on master, for which I'd need a patch that covers both
the changes in the face storage and the fix for the tab-line face.

Actually, the problem with the tab-line face will probably need to be
fixed on emacs-27.

Thanks.
