Regardless, it is way too late to apply this to the current merge
window. I don't think Linus would appreciate me pulling in a complex
patch set 4 days into the merge window, review it, and then push it to
him without much faith that this wont cause any major issues in use
cases we did not think about. Not to mention, I would have to drop
everything I am responsible for to do that.

I would never ask another maintainer to do such an irresponsible act.

I just got back from an 8 day vacation, and my inbox is way out of
hand, and I still need to put together the changes that have been in
linux-next for some time, and get that to Linus.

Hopefully I'll get to looking at this sometime next week.
