This feels like a risky change to introduce into stable kernels
given that while people shouldn't rely on stable number
assignment they may well have done so.  I'll skip the stable tag
though if you want to request a backport with the stable team
they might be OK with it - it definitely feels like it should
have a discussion rather than just going in with a tag.
