Sorry, I have agree with other maintainers here: this doesn't look

This doesn't mean I won't merge it though: this time around
I opened pci-next and will queue patches there, so no
extra effort on your side should be required.

Absolutely, and it's a reasonable thing to do normally, but not
when we are trying to finalize a release.
Looks like another reason to defer this to 2.4.
