That's fine if one is starting to do some work now, but that is not the
case with this. The first posting was almost a year ago:

	https://lwn.net/Articles/922127/

which likely means that it's been around for at 18 months or more, and
we can also see that this patch was in that original patch set. What
the history of this patch is before the first posting... only James
would be able to answer that and I feel that we're highly unlikely to
get any kind of response.

Anyway, consider this patch dropped from the series.
