Oh, surprised.  I wasn't actually expecting that to happen.

OK.  I'm not particularly strongly opinionated either way.

The timing is awkward.  We could let it sit in Len's tree and
linux-next for a couple of months or we could say what-the-hell and
merge it.

If the latter, your original merge plan sound better ;) But we should
arrange for the new code to default to "on" for test coverage reasons. 
perhaps the original patch did that already?
