I agree... but at the same time, the patch in question is a cleanup
and there's not a lot of downside in dropping this for a cycle.
Cristoph, is that right?  Will not taking this cleanup block anything
that you were hoping to land this cycle?

I'm fine either way with either asking Linus to fix up the merge, or
dropping it and picking it up later.  In fact, I'd be fine just simply
landing this post -rc1.

So what do people think?  Again, I don't have strong opinions one way
or another.
