The thing is, I had planned on doing a final release yesterday, even before your pull came in. I decided to hold off, let it be, just to test the _current_ state a bit more. No way am I then adding some effectively totally untested new code-path. And if you start messing in partitions.c and adding whole new callback functions to generic block_device_operations, then that's a new code-path. The IDE subsystem has _no_ business adding random new callbacks in the very last days of a release. It sure as hell is not just a bugfix, it's a new feature. The feature may be _needed_ for some specific bug report, but that is totally irrelevant. We don't do things like that. It's also almost certainly not a regression, is it? So by no measure does it work as a "late in the -rc sequence" patch.
