No this isn't needed urgently at all I think.

It was sleeping in Patchwork since January, and I received comments from 
Michael a few days ago asking me to re-submit, see 
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/dd2876b808ea38eb7b7f760ecd6ce06096c61fb5.1580295551.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr/

But if you are killing set_fs/get_fs entirely, that's even better I 
guess. Thanks for the hands up.
