Well, that's an oopsie: I already have this change in my code base.  I
think I probably did it at the last minute for a conference
presentation (the log indicates it was done in the 4.14 timeframe) and
then forgot to repost the patches, which would explain why it's still
nicely compiling for me ...

I can repost so we've got code to hang the discussion on.
