I'm fixing up that patch as things change under its feet.  I usually
merge things like this late in the merge window after everything else
has landed, to cause minimum breakage/disruption.

If there was something in linux-next which didn't get into the merge
window (bad) then I cheerily break it and the tree maintainer fixes
things up.
