Full stop, schmulstop... I'm not going to send a not as much as possibly
tested fix to Linus for something which was a nasty pain to get right
a couple of times because of a bunch of SNAFUs by BIOS and Qemu and
whatnot, just to break other machines and then hurry and scramble to fix
it again.

Rather, I'd let it cook for a whole cycle so that we're sure.

The stable tag is correct because it'll get picked up by stable later.
But no worries, I'll mop up after you again as I always do.
