Yup. I'd have no objection to a direct request to Linus to take this as a one off. 

Or we can do an immutable branch and pull it into all relevant subtrees so all
users can hit mainline all in 4.5 without waiting for a cycle. That tends to work well for bits like this.

Something odd going on with my email as I missed this version entirely. Will
investigate.  Reading up on the archive.
