Hi Dave, Shuah,

Are either of you planning to take this series? I ask because I have a
very slightly overlapping series that enhances the LLVM/clang checks,
that I'm about to post. And I'm not sure if I should try to include
a small fix that would apply to patch 5/7 here.

(This is not urgent, because it's merely a deferral of adding LLVM/clang
support to these kselftests.)
