The link is the original patch, where I'm (too late?) complaining about
its side effects. Hans and Marcel are discussing potential alternatives.
This stuff happens in -rc kernels. But you're already ready to push it
out to -stable users? I can try to push another few reverts into Linus's
tree if that really helps, or else you can wait on pushing these to
-stable until 4.16 settles down.

Or you can ignore my objection. But I don't really like that option ;)
