Fair point, it is bad timing.  Unfortunately I travel on holidays
Sunday 7th, thus that will delay the patch until after my holidays, and
likely after the merge window (as Linus will make rc8 or release this
Sunday).  I guess, we are not in a hurry... so let's just wait, until
after the merge window.
