What behaviour is broken here for older kernels? What would not work
that makes this patch worthy of consideration for stable? The commit
log should be clear on that.

In the future, it may be useful for you to wait at least 1 week or so
before sending a new series becuase just a couple of days is not enough
if you are getting feedback.

So before sending a v10, please give it at least a few days or a week.
