This kind of patch normally causes regular merge conflicts, which
historically have caused a repeated number of headaches - there's
a similar patch for GENERIC_TIME which is pending.

I suggest waiting until we're closer to the merge window than we
are at present; I'll bring my devel stuff to a freeze state before
hand so we can get these two patches merged - maybe around the
-rc7 release.

Please ping me closer to that.
