We have that in linux-next today (or at least we used to, I took the
scripts from linux-next and rely on them to catch this in my trees.)
I cleaned up the scripts and posted them to the kernel workgroup mailing
list a long time ago for any other maintainer to also use, I've attached
it below as well.

I run across this issue 2-3 times each -rc release, it's quite common
but very low overall.

thanks,
