Nothing else in entire kernel tree uses this.

I strongly discourage you from doing something at this level that is
not in accordance with some kind of precendence or official
recommendation for the rest of the kernel project.

If you want this to start happening, discuss it on a global scale
on lkml.

I'm definitely not pulling this tree with these changes in it.

Sorrry.
