Although I notice that patch somehow was dropped from -mm, or maybe
I'm not looking hard enough?

I preferred the patch at

  https://lore.kernel.org/mm-commits/20201205011409.o9PNsRntR%25akpm@linux-foundation.org/

because it removed <asm/cacheflush.h> and only included <asm/set_memory.h>.

I hope the right patch finds its way into the queue. :-)
