Oh cool, I didn't expect this to work given what Nathan said in his
mail, but I gave it a whirl and it does seem to.
I suppose:
Reviewed-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I'd rather it be this way so that it is "hands off", as opposed to the
version check that would need updating in the future. And I guess it
means that support for V & IAS will automatically turn on for stable
kernels too once the LLVM change lands, which is nice ;)

Thanks Andy!
