Whilst I can see the logic introducing it in two steps, maybe
shout a bit more about that in the original patch as otherwise
some foolish unnamed maintainer might pick up part of this series
leaving things in a bad state for a kernel release.
The earlier patch 'recommends' it isn't used which is a bit week.
Say support is going to be removed later.
