Hi Chris,

Thanks for your kind offer. I am a 100% genuine true-blue kernel newbie 
and have no idea whether a change like this should be merged 
individually by each arch maintainer, or all together at some point 
upstream (or is it downstream? I'm not sure about my streams). Do you 
have any suggestion?

Thank you again! AD
