It's better than the original code, which was checking to see whether a
u8 exceeded 536!

Linus won't remove a commit from the middle of David's merge and
replace it with some unchangelogged, un-signed-off alternative.

An appropriate way to handle this is to prepare a new patch against
Linus or David's tree after this merge has been performed.  Package
that patch in the usual way and send it to the usual recipients. That's
the no-fuss, no-drama, stuff-gets-done path.
