I'm confused on what I should do with patch 6 here for dma-buf. Looks like
just a good cleanup/prep work, so I'd queue it for linux-next and 5.9, but
sounds like you want this in earlier. Do you need this in 5.8-rc for some
work meant for 5.9? Will this go in through some topic branch directly?
Should I apply it?

Patch itself lgtm, I'm just confused what I should do with it.
