But then we'd have to postpone the renaming and we'd be stuck with
both variants in the tree. This is suboptimal. We'd also have this
huge series spanning two subsystems for 3 months during the v6.8
release cycle in the tree causing conflicts and other issues.

I'd prefer to merge this during the v6.7 merge window and then we can
keep on improving it without affecting both trees. Linus will be
taking those subsequent patches as usual.

Linus, what do you think?
