I agree in general, but in this case the ABI is essentially defined through the asm-generic headers, with the exception of the functions that actually were tested before the change (sys_clone, sys_execve, sys_rt_sigreturn and sys_sig). We should certainly fix the asm-generic versions if there are some unexpected problems found by LTP, but delaying the score merge won't help that, because the interesting code is already there. While I understand the argument against merging untested code (that's why I mentioned it in the first place), I think in this case it's not about the ABI and the code is obviously self-contained enough to cause no harm to others.
