And as you can see, the review has been long and involved a ton of
different dri-devel (and rdma ofc too) folks.

It's like there's an entire community of experts at hands who could
help out in reviewing these things, if only we'd not have a maintainer
who happily bypasses all that and invites all the dumpster fires into
drivers/misc. And then complains that no one helps with reviewing ...
