Since we don't have a user for the new UAPI right now, perhaps we can put the new UAPI behind the staging Kconfig until it will get a real/production user. On the other hand, I had unpleasant experience with having UAPI gated by staging Kconfig for other kernel subsystem in a sense that it permanently stays a staging UAPI because nobody has time for unstaging it. I see a common demand in this new UAPI which only becomes stronger over time. Won't hurt to refresh this patchset. I had a rebased version locally, but likely it needs to be rebased again. Will try to allocate time for this. -- Best regards, Dmitry
