This series is kind of old at this point, but yes, it's not fixing a new
regression either. I'm okay if this goes to the next window, and I will
handle the stable follow-up.

Are you planning to start the for-7.3/block branch soon? I can rebase
the series if there's a conflict, and would be great to get this exposed
to linux-next.
