It is "critical" in the sense of it fixes a long standing bug people
had to hack around for months with things like this:

http://git.infradead.org/?p=users/hch/xfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=ea8d9cd0eb485c53eac01a3cf8524278381c31ee

it also is trivial in terms of code.  Not including it would be a
really strange decision.
