That doesn't matter for fixes tags.  However...

...since this is something that needs to be fixed for v5.0 we need a
patch that can be applied on v5.0 (and has been tested by someone who
sees the issue there).  Takashi's plan seems like a good way to do that,
if you could send a patch against my for-5.0 branch (or just Linus'
tree) that'd be great.
