As I quoted, mine is an adaptation of Nicholas Piggin's original
patch, basically a forward-port to 5.4 (5.10 in my OpenWrt tree [1]).
Since the original proposal has been sent upstream and hasn't been
merged, there are probably good reasons for it (even though it works
perfectly for my use case). Nicholas, any idea on why your original
patch [2] hasn't been merged?

I haven't tested with Clang, only GCC, but it's nice to know.

Thanks,
