I think there is a follow-on patch for this one as well, that adds the
proper "stream open" logic to all of the individual locations.

That bulk one hasn't been applied yet, and wouldn't be appropriate for
stable anyway. It's 5.2 material.

Hm, I might be confusing something here but I see a bunch of patches
that convert existing callers mentioned in this patch to use
stream_open() which was introduced here.

Are these the same patches you're referring to? If so, why are they not
appropriate for stable?
