Hmm, are the other patches dependent on it?

I think I may just push it separately to Linus now, but the other
patches will be on my devel branch which will not be abased off of this
fix. Will that break too much? I just cherry-picked a patch from my
urgent branch as it required to be on my devel branch and go to Linus.

Hmm, I may be able to make a separate branch with this. I have to see
how much it conflicts with my current development.
