Is there a startup ordering issue here? It feels like a bad idea to work around callers' flaws within the callee. Please also describe the userspace-visible effects of this. Because it might be the case that we will want to backport any fix into earlier kernels, and we shouldn't do that until we know how those kernels will benefit. And to aid all of this, please attempt to identify a Fixes: target, to aid others in identifying which kernel version(s) need patching. Please answer all the above in the next (non-RFC!) version's changelog. Meanwhile, I'll queue up this version for some testing. Thanks.
