FYI, we'd asked Shuah to pick this patch up in her "kunit" branch.
It's applied here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git/commit/?h=kunit&id=7466886b400b1904ce30fa311904849e314a2cf4

It had previously seemed unclear if this series could make it for the
5.19 merge window (but it now looks like there's interest in trying it
out early on).
