Hi Al,
Have you had time to wrap this up as its own commit and send?  I was
doing a bug scrub of our KernelCI warnings and noticed this is still
an issue.  Looks like everyone was happy with your approach.  Let me
know if you're too busy, and I'll collect all of the tags and send for
you.  I appreciate you taking the time to help us fix this.
