Ok. Also, it might not be needed as some of PeterZ's stuff do simplify

Sounds like Murphy came to visit. I hate that.

Yeah, I can scrape it off some gitgub issue page too - that's not
a problem.

Btw, this:

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/commit/150c42407f87463c27a2459e06845965291d9973

Is this fixing a current issue and so it needs to go to Linus now?

If so, I'll expedite it too.

Thx.
