Sure. Andrew can drop it from -mm, and I'll collect everything in:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zx2c4/linux.git/log/?h=unsigned-char&r
And I'll ask Stephen to add that branch to -next.

If you can get a copy of IDA Pro, diaphora is quite nice:

Or sometimes with objdump, I've had more success by keeping debug
symbols, and then trimming offsets from jmps.
