Wow, that's odd. I've sent with In-Reply-To, I'd expect it'd get
threaded with the original message. Looking in lore archive [1], it
seems my first message wasn't threaded but the others were...apologies
for that, not sure what happened...

I'm working on it, it is feasible. But I'm seeking here, in this
message, what is the reason it wasn't backported for pre-4.19 - is there
anything on these patches that is known to break old kernels? I'll
certainly submit my backported patch to stable 4.14 once I'm sure it's
working and there's no specific reason to not have it done before.

Thanks again!
