I think that what happened there is that I built the branch before the fixup
was upstreamed, so I never noticed that.

It's queued up right now, but I don't think I'll make another release except
a final one in January when it EOLs.

If this fix is urgent for anyone then something is wrong as this kernel dies
in two weeks...
