Heh, and I was waiting for a response to Yosry's thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAO9r8zODKgCcjTBK=P6BuXBBZRoOAFMeRJU8BmkWL-BCX2LoBw@mail.gmail.com

I also didn't prioritize responding (or even digging deeper) because I wasn't
expecting the patch to get fast-tracked to 7.2.  It's not tagged for stable, the
code has existed for years, and at least for me, nothing else suggested it needed
to go in *now*.  It doesn't help that the commit showed up in kvm/master late
yesterday; the first heads up I got that you were applying the patch as-is was
this pull request.

In other words, it's the lack of communication that's frustrating.  Even a simple
"Hey, I'm applying this unless someone screams" would have sufficed.

Heh, if only past me had realized we could have done that.  I guess the desire to
prove someone "wrong" on the internet is the mother of all invention? :-D
