I see that the revert made it to Linus. Thanks!

I've now pushed the dependent pieces to l2-mtd.git, and they should make
it to v4.6-rc1. So I guess it's fair game to re-apply this patch?
Although, if you don't merge in my MTD branch first, you'd still be
breaking bisectability... Maybe it's a post-rc1 candidate?
