No, attempting to just fix it after-the-fact in the hopes that nobody
actually uses the new system call yet sounds like the right thing to
do.

6.8 has been out for just days, and I see it's marked for stable, so
hopefully nobody ever even sees the mistake. I can't imagine that the
new system call is that eagerly used.

Famous last wods.
