FWIW, if I intended this patch set to be tested with a feature bit
set or modified userspace, I would have posted patches that modify
the userspace tools appropriately. If you see something that
requires userspace tool modification to make use of, then you should
be asking questions about that during review rather than quietly
modifying userspace tools yourself to test said changes.

In most cases, enabling kernel feature bits (i.e. presence in the
GOOD flags) without corresponding changes to userspace is a bug, as
demonstrated here...

Cheers,

Dave.
