Alright, taken and pushed to linux-next.
I'll send it to Linus next week-ish

FWIW, this isn't a merge so messing with the commit message is fine and
you didn't really need to resend (either is fine), but if you do for
next time please tag in the subject it's a v2 (e.g. [PATCH v2]),
optionally with a changelog below the three dashes that won't be
included in the final commit message (not really useful here as we discussed
the change just before, but for bigger subsystems it can help)
