-rc7 is already released, so we are quite late in the cycle, and I'm not
planning to submit another pull request for v6.0 unless something really
major happens. So I think it's better that you wait for the -next commit
to reach Linus' tree (should happen in next two weeks or so) and then
submit a patch to stable releases.
