Using a config option to control this is not appropriate.

Every distribution is going to enable this option in their kernels.

If the thinking is that a controversial semantic change can be added
as long as it can be disabled by a kernel config option, then sorry I
have to inform you that is not really how this kind of situation
works.

I'm not applying this patch, sorry.
