Why not. If somebody legitimately needs it this is easy to reimplement by
just looking at this commit.

But I have to wait until the next kernel cycle with this because of
late in the cycle and cross-tree issues. I don't want to create merge
conflicts right now (this patch does due to other changes).

Could you resend this at v4.20-rc1 please?

Yours,
