Doubt it, unless the succeeding patches have a dependency on it. But the
other patches have not been tested without this one being present.

These patches have been in mm for four weeks, so it's probably OK from a
stability POV to take them straight into linux-release. If they were
fresher then the way to handle them would be to merge them into Linus's
tree and backport in a couple of weeks time.
