I hadn't anticipated it taking this long for Paul's patch to
get upstream.

So I only queued this up for -stable, not Linus's tree.

Paul has started the work of moving his patch upstream, so I suspect
that if I queued this patch of our's up to my tree now it would land
in Linus's tree about the same time :-)

If something non-trivially stalls Paul's submission work, we can
queue this up.
