It is part of iproute2 package and will be available in all OSes once
they will upgrade it. I'm pretty confident that it will be available at
the same time as this kernel version, because these tools are aligned
with kernels.

Exactly as your feature is not going to be back ported by distros, they
won't bring new iproute2 package to the old kernel.

Thanks
