Another way around this is reverting ceaa001a170e in net.git and
designing the uAPI properly in net-next. I think that should be the
preferred way, as ceaa001a170e is clearly wrong since you need to redo
it after 3 months.
Not sure when Linus intends to release 4.15 and how much time you have
for this, though.
