The changes seem easy enough and I need to respin at least for the
lkdtm changes, and probaby also for a pending fix in the low-level
x86 code that will hopefully be picked up for 5.9.

But the more important questions is: how do we want to pick the series
up?  Especially due to the splice changes I really want it to be in
linux-next as long as possible.
