Looks like a new feature to me, right?

How many patches, and have you tested them?  If so, submit them as a
patch series and we can review them, but if this is a new feature, it
does not meet the stable kernel rules.

And why not just use 5.11 or newer for discovering kernel bugs?  Why
does 5.10 matter here?
