Hmm, the stable kernel rules say that a patch cannot exceed 100
lines with context, so this one is technically too large.

Maybe Greg has a suggestion about what to do here. Is it possible
to make an exception for a revert? In theory you could make a
smaller version of the patch that adds an #if 0 instead of removing
some of the code that was added, in order to get below the limit,
but that seems counterproductive for minimizing the possible risk.
