Except then that could leave Linus' tree broken during the next merge
window depending on the order he merges the cifs and security-testing
trees.  Unless that patch is sent to Linus as a fix patch before the next
merge window, of course.

I will add this patch as a merge fixup to the merge of the
security-testing tree for today.  And will remove my copy when one of the
trees gets fixed.

James: maybe I should change the name of your tree in -next to just
"security"?
