If you want some sort of "do these really work" validation, these have
been running for a while now in the android 5.10-rc kernels just fine,
as I cherry-picked the patches there to get past their testing issues.

But if you want to wait until after 5.10 is out, that's fine with me
too, it's up to Al.
