What will happen with these is that once Greg's scripts process Linus's

It's not like it won't work and then start to work again. Once they
start failing in older versions, they will probably fail in all
versions before that.
Sure, we can wait for the "added to the xyz stable tree" mails and
object then, but why risk breaking the trees?
Again, it's not much different than other stable patches that need to
be fixed for older trees. If they build, they are fine, if they don't
then they need to be fixed. You'll know right at build time.
So the only tree it applied and built was 4.19, all older trees failed
on at least one arch.
I'm going to remove any parts of this series from all other trees.
