So here the patch clearly says it is for "this kernel cycle"
which I feel implies that it is NOT for any previous kernels
stable or not...

of these for me to handle sometimes. (Maybe it means I
am making too many mistakes to begin with, mea culpa.)

This AI seems a bit confused :/
Maybe it is the prolific use of the word "fix" that triggers it?
