Why is this series "RFC"?  What needs to be done to be able to submit it
as a real patch series?

Also, as the commits you are reverting are in older kernels, please
properly cc: stable in the signed-off-by area, and add a fixes: tag for
the commit you are reverting when you resend these as a real series.
