I would suggest that you don't rebase if you are intending to submit to
Linus.  Instead, do a test merge with his tree and fix the issue in the
merge and test that, then explain it all the in the pull request (but
ask him to pull your tree without the merge).

Much better to do it in the merge window.  Linus almost never takes new
features outside a merge window (but you could always ask him).
