My preference would be to have:

o A provably correct script  If a small subset of
  possible conversions are skipped, that's fine.
o As piecemeal patches cause a lot of churn, work
  for individual maintainers, and also are not
  universally applied, have that script run
  kernel-wide after an rc1 and applied all-at-once.
