Right, as we just talked, this should be ok, but it needs a more fine-grained
review to check whether the code that goes away is present in kernel proper.
It should be but...

And then we probably should delay this until the next cycle so that it gets
a full cycle of testing instead of rushing it in now and then patching it out
again...

That's me being overly cautious ofc.

Thx.
