If we were to accept patches in stable because some downstream kernel
needs it even though the feature isn't in upstream, Greg would have a
hard time sorting through all the patches :-)

I think this falls into the category of "downstream folks can manually
pick this into their tree".

Makes sense to me, thanks :-)

Just applied to my testing/next without the stable tag.
