Here are the options I know of, any of which work for me:

1.	I take the patch given appropriate acks/reviews.

2.	Someone hangs onto the patch until the KCSAN infrastructure
	hits mainline and then sends it up via whatever path.

3.	One way to do #2 is to merge the -rcu tree's "kcsan" branch and
	then queue this patch on top of that, again sending this patch
	along once KCSAN hits mainline.  Unusually for the -rcu tree,
	the "kcsan" branch is not supposed to be rebased.

Either way, just let me know!

							Thanx, Paul
